Calling PETA for what you did to that poor mouse and those birds. Watching them bump against the glass is just sick. Don't get me started on the dolphins, we have Seaworld down here and there's always someone with a bug up their rump over that. (Giggle Snort) Excellent job, the alignment of the water inside the glass is SPEK TACK YOU LAR and the merge of the edge of the glass into the sand is awesome. Good luck author

Stunning technique author... I'm just having issues trying to figure out what the planet is.. it looks more like an inter-dimensional rift such as a wormhole (which fits the idea of this chop perfectly) or the porthole in Stargate.
Your use of Polar Coor is awesome as I always get stuck in the symmetry quandary and the work to make it line up drives me nuts...hehehe
It's your interpretation so I'm sure it's okay, I'm just offering up my opinion. (Excellent skill all round). I'm just thinking if a clear sphere or something might add to the piece (ONLY FOR THE CONTEST).
I always give a high vote for good work, and you have it in spades here
This version is fantastic.. I'm just thinking planet. An Oort Cloud around it would be cool as well. IMHO of course. I just love anything Sci Fi (super Geek) so this was a trip right from the start. Good luck author and great job.

HEY! That's where I'm from! Though I'm on a diet now (doctors orders) so I have to live in exile. Fun CHOP!

I hate it when this happens to me, especially when the cauldron drops on my toes. Great job

Dat's a lotta fun! Good luck and great composition.

Love the title great job author.

That's not surreal..that's my neighborhood every other Tuesday... hehehe.. great job

Boing Boing Boing

Boing Boing Boing

oh yeah, and your variant choices and blurring is great, really adds depth and some humor (especially the ship.. awesome)

Such a subtle change but a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! Really locks the image together now.. more fun to look at and take in. Well for me anyway. Great job author. Now my eye doesn't jump all over the place, but moves from object to object as if taking in the scene instead of pop pop pop. Don't know if that makes sense, but then again, I never make sense so there ya go.

Why do I hear the "Flight of the Valkyries?" fun idea

English Dentistry? (I'm terrible) hehehe great job.. but yeesh!

The "EYE" has it.. hehehe

Very clever author (the theme). I'm not going to approach at making it more realistic as it is surrealistic contest. It is your imagination and I don't like to step into that field. Funny all the same

YIKES!

Don't want to see the chiropractor bill on this one...hehehe

I see what you are doing here author, my only suggestion is to get rid of the water spray around the sand water hole to give the water a better feeling of passing through the desert floor. At the moment it looks like the water is splashing all around but has no reason for being there. As it is a surrealistic image, it really doesn't matter but I find if the water looked like it was shooting straight through the sand it would make more sense and not just look like two photos on top of each other. ONLY A SUGGESTION.. It's fine just the way it is, but I'm just thinking of continuity. Good luck.

Give the girl some Alka Seltzer... she's gassy (couldn't resist)...

Great idea repeating the "Big Apple" but you might want to variant them a bit to give them more interest. Blurring the ones farther away will give them depth, but as this is a surrealistic contest... that's not really a factor. Having the same exact city in each apple is a bit repetitive and with SO MANY creative common cities available, a selection of different cites would really enhance this chop IMHO of course. Good luck .. now light a match.. hehehe

Yep yep..

Just love the texture

That's messed up great job

You're weird author.. snortle..

Beiber Fever? hehehe

What an incredibly fun image.. this would look great on a bank wall.. especially near the investment department.. awesome...(FANTASTIC personal photo as well)

Just get her tons of gifts at Xmas hehehehe

Just a suggestion on the Text (usually frowned on in most cases) but to lock it tighter, just reduce the size of Oscar Wilde and add a tilde {~) in front of his name and then place it at the end of the Quote under "That is All". At the moment, Oscar Wilde doesn't look like the author of the Quote, but just an extension of the Quote itself. I could be wrong, but as I'm bombarded with enough "Quote Meme's" on facebook to choke a horse, I do see this is usual the practice in the best of them. Good luck author, reminds me of the Advert for the new "BULL" series coming up on TV...hehehe

YUCK! and that's a GOOD THING in this contest. Great use of your own photo. Good luck author.

Excellent work! Good luck

I want it in a bowl! (Rainbow Sorbet!)hehehe.. good luck
