Layers, layers, layers. The image reminds of those ocean documentaries about small fish...when they swim together in groups.

I like the way you need no sources. That's that way to travel. Well done.

Most entertaining. I am starting to recognize yours before I vote. Sometimes I'm fooled but not this time. What a fun interpretation. And they look so happy. hehe Good job!

I watched a video about this lonely volcano that inspired you to create this work. Beautiful story and song, I encourage other gentle souls to watch it too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh4dTLJ9q9o

"I have a dream I hope will come true
That you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you
We thank the earth, sea and the sky we thank you
I LAVA you!"

Just a suggestion, play with Adjustments - Color Balance on Lava texture and light beams to get more dramatic result. (Try adding green midtones and blue highlights to the light beams, they will match your hearts better)
I like the idea and composition of this image.

Cutesy!

Cool creature, love the colors of the gradients

The eight legged guy is precious, I want one for home, does he eat too much?

Hahaha... made my day!!!

Nice work, and very time consuming I would imagine

I like the sense of movement. Looks great. GL author.

Nice work. Feed me, Seymour!

Interesting image, with a surreal feel! Made me think of Metropolis (Fritz Lang 1927)

WOW author! Absolutely one of the best entries I've seen lately!

nice use of the turkey leg distort tool, most people don't turn that toolbar on. It is under->options->toolbars->poultry

Nice logo play within the name, and the play on words in tagline.

So creative, love the colors in this.

Fun image, amazing work on this.

What version of Photoshop has the Squish tool?? Creative work.

Nice BW contrast with colored metal holder.

Congratulations....

Congrats, my friend

"I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky..." wonderful!

Oh, man, now I want to change the score I gave this one, and score it higher. Is that possible?

Congrats Ernest!!

Great expressions, but the phantom hand coming from his neck is odd.

Great job! I knew when I saw this that it was yours. I'm not sure what's funnier, the eyes on the other characters or that Disney somehow licensed a Han Solo blow up doll......

Nice use of the source, love the colorful landing zone...now where are those plutonium mothballs?

Clearly someone has lost their mind over liquid metal icecream, lol. It's a fun one for sure!

may the force be with you...hee...ha...

querky...but nice

cool boots. Suggest add saturation to the bottom shoes to match the intensity of color.

Classic!

Magical spiral. Love the yellow kitty faces

Tempting and yummy

I like it!!!

Wow, you are fast. I'm still trying to think of an idea.

I do like your cover in the SBS but it is hard to find it in the entry. Probably a closer crop will help.

Is that a self portrait?

Congrats Ernest!

Congrats Ernest!

This is real good... congrats.

Well, author, you have included your magazine's cover on the shelf with the others. It is almost impossible to see the text, or to find out what the magazine's cover is about. Here is an idea. Why you don't make your magazine's cover bigger and more readable, and place it on top of the other magazines. It would be better, even if you cover some of the ones you have in the picture. At least you will give us the idea of what your magazine is about..... (Just my comment and my POV)

Nice cover.... check your spelling...
1- Were Objects d'Art Meet the Market. (I think so)

The magazine's name is kind of confusing. (At least for me)

The rest looks colorful. GL.

Too funny! Love the title and font you used. LOL@ Garrison Peeler! hahaha!

That's ok, bet ya had fun with this one.

Congrats! Good research and masking!

Congrats Ernie!!

Looks great

No comments... and a second well deserved place my friend.

How funny - love the cash register buttons on her face!!
