This is very very nice work...one of my favorite...but this effect u can achieve with any image and this kind of creation is better to be in Theme section...u'r use part of the image,small part,with coping make that part unrecognizable and used for the entry....for me this don't work anymore...Whole idea of source image is to create something with that,to that source be visible in your work....sorry for my long tirade and good luck....

i agree with you about this being better for a theme entry....but this is something i just wanted to try my hand at, and none of the source pics had much to work with for it.....

I'd have to agree. This is another example of "chopped beyond recognition" and I can only tell you used it from our SBS. Althought unique and very well chopped, not a good use of source.

the rules only say to use the source - shouldn't matter whether it's recognizable or not

Congrats!
