Would make a fin background.

Author, I'm going to hold my vote to see if you will fix the split in the lip right in the center. Also, you're going to have to describe what methods were used to create your image (or make an SBS) in order to stay in the contest. (Just tell what methods/filters/smudge etc.. were used in your creation.)

The split down the middle of the image takes away from the finish piece, but it might be what you were aiming at.. I just think by all the blending that's taken place, you may have missed the vertical line through the picture.

fix da lip like has been suggested.
