 No critics this time. 

This has got to be your best project.

Some how you turned on a big artist switch that makes things remarkable. 

Does seeing in person show the depth of the backer show up?  The picture posted I can barely see the depth.  The coloring overwhelms my senses. I can zoom in and I know and the black is the backer but wow.

 

Note: 750 blade insertions is the big sit down time.  Say half a minute per hole change. That is 375 minutes !!!!

I give most of the credit to the original Artist (unknown) for the visual depth of the image.  I use very thin cut panels so the vertical cut surfaces are not very visible, especially in this project, the small cutouts also prevent seeing the cut edges.   So, to answer your question, no.  When viewed from the typical 4 feet, the overall image looks more like a painting than a scroll saw panel.  

I'm getting better applying color using an Air Brush, and using color images as my guide for adding color I was able to produce a much more realistic image.
