Great job, love it

Nice result. Appreciate your imagination. I liked the bubbles and Jellies. I as a designer has met with the same staring and blindness problem. The solution what I found good is; Get away from PC, Do somthing else for sometime, Give a gap. Color perception get wavered as you keep stairing at the image for long. You end up giving lesser color than needed. Keep going..GL

I think its beautiful!

I think its very nice author I would just leave it as it is

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Nice one! My fav! GL!

very cool work author...gl

Thanx for the nice comments and fav's offcourse

Me likey!

very nice piece...gl

Beautiful image and a good use of the source!

this is nice!

That's it! You know that theory that when we manipulate a photo we're trying to make it look like it should have been from the start? That's it, this is how it should have looked.

An absolutely BRILLIANT use of a terrible source. Fantastic work, author

IMO the bottom cross is redundant and distracting, however, you've made a great image here nevertheless. GL author!

very nice work author...very nice...whole piece is well made and would be good without bigger mill too...best of luck

Cool concept. The 3 o'clock earth starfish is maybe a bit too close; a little more distance might be more dramatic/threatening/tell more of a story. The outer edges of the 12 o'clock starfish's arms seem weak because (as revealed in hi-res) the water line bulges instead of remaining flat to the earth's surface.

The moon is hard to discern plus the closer starfish isn't casting any shadow. I think just deleting that closer starfish would be a simplifying improvement.

Nice1..Faved!

nice idea!

A good idea, despite a similar image already being in the contest. I agree with Dan about the uppermost starfish being above the waterline even though it has been clearly warped. Other than that it looks good Good attention to lights and shadows too.

For the comments about the upper starfish, it is as I want it to be. Yes it has been warped. I am trying to portray the creature as if it is wrapping its upper most arm UP and over the atmosphere and curvature of the Earth. If you notice the other arms are digging into the surface. Ponti and Dan I am not sure what you 2 are getting at. As for having been done as a similar idea...well I started this project as you see it with out seeing the other similar entry. It is not the first time things like this have happened here and probably will not be the last. Thank you for the comments and the favorite.

This is a pretty cool concept, name and execution, author. Quite the mutated starfish, very scifi!

That one center leg on the bottom starfish looks as if it's really burrowing below the water surface - great work! Dust and fire on the others works, too. Planet looks like a NASA image, nice job on that as well.

This swarm looks unbeatable

Very cool work author...gl

Wauw amazing :O

should've been third at least ..
