The fire ball nearly on the cannon should be melting the metal already, you still have it intact. Really nice imagination here.

more like painting - not photo...

Very nice work -- wings and tail look as if they had always been there great blending and construction

wow

The wings are PERFECT!!! great job!!!

Very good!

Outstanding concept & execution!

Reminds me of Quetzalkoatl

i like the wings

I love the way you added the wings to the dragon, the sharpness is perfect, and the outcome, just beautiful. Good luck author.!!!

beautiful...............

Love the whole concept of this. The story and the mood is wonderful! Very excellent work ... as usual!!! My fav!

Perfect blend, clean and crisp image as always..... well done & GL

Great combination of elements, and very nice work, in spite of (or because of) that mush.... um, story. I remember seeing a sailboat named Quetzlcoatl.

nice !!

very neat clean work...good luck author

Not bad..... congrats for your fifth place...it was hard to compete with the best...but guess what....I am happy that my OXY, got a fourth...!

Congrats!

Thanks to all for the comments! A most exciting contest with great work by all!

Quote "It doesn't have to make sense to anyone" - it doesn't but it's still a very impressive piece of work. Good luck.

One of the best crazy composition i ever seen...well done author,this is creation made for wall...best of luck

We are talking about "twilight zone"! It doesn't matter if the image makes or not sense - I think the less sense, the better. And this work is full of a great non-sense creativity! Unique, GL!

w0w! brilliant sweetheART fave4sure ;} happy hippy hugglez

''fantastic out of sense''...., he he.. Very well done......

Super job of blending with great images -- excellent work

perfect blending ...............

god job

Very cool, looks so unreal, and weird and perfect for this theme. My favorite part is the little tree and the zebraeyefiles = )

Oh my God this is awesome...so perfectly on theme. Well done, author.

Mad, crazy, fantastic.

Amazing! This is something I would print for a wall. Your on FIRE!!

Fantastic work

I wouldn't mind a hit from that Bong..........J/K

Awesome.......Rod Sterling would be proud. He was one of a kind.

Only thing I would suggest is to put a little shadow where the Zebra hands are holding the human arm. Looks too flat right now. Really great tho. Good luck !

super perfectly well blended,............

Haha! It's you again! Hey, why don't you stop winning so many contests and let the other guys have a go at it? Lol, just kidding...your work is amazing, dude...I can't say it enough.

Amazing entry! I think the zebra man doesn't really fit in the whole abstractness but that's my opinion. Good luck.

awesome, perfect entry

sir, i am a fan! amazing imagination!

cool

super chop

OMG THIS IS SO ** AWASOME !!
gl author !

I LIKE IT !! G L

Finally I finished my trip and face my computer again . Thanks everyone for your kind words, I'm trying to change this image a bit, but maybe I'll keep the zebra man because he's already been a part of this chaos and appeared in my SBS (I agree that he's not a good part of this abstractness)

wow...this is crazzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy!

WOW

Awesome, so much to take in all at once, I have come back again and again just to take in some more!! Crazy but very well constructed!!

Well done, ur rocking

and what a wild ride it usually is! some interesting concepts here, author.

Very wild interpretation, colorful and imaginative. Good Luck!

Very Creative!

very nice but I don't understand why you had to squish the hands. I think it's distracting

gud work

you need to link to where the hands originally came from. Smug mug is not a stockphotography site. Are hands premanipulated or was photo taken like that also ???

Thank you. I have updated my step by step to include the hands picture. It is my own hands taken by me. The link as source was to my own personal gallery on smugmug.

love the creativity behind this idea. The fingers sadly do bring the image down alittle. Sorry can not provide how to fix. Maybe try liquify and "PLUMP"them a little GL

there is no sbs for this image....

There's still no SBS and I agree about the hands. You also could of uploaded a higher res. I can't really see the details.

Thanks for everybody's comments. I had to flatten the hands somewhat to get them to fit. I tried to upload a hi-res, but I think since this is only a 550x700 pxl image, the image you see is the hi-res. I'm kind of new to photoshop manipulation. Maybe next time I can improve the hands. Thanks again. Cheers!

very nice
