Well, that rule exist to avoid what is going on right now, people arguing on a picture's comments. You red flag it, and boom - Clean and effective.

Absolutely gorgeous!

i had this one all sketched out, but checked in last night (after a week of not being here much thanks to my entirely hectic schedule) and... YOU"D already done it!!! its awesome.

SO, i'll keep my sketch for another time. Your interpretation is just great. good luck!

CrystleClear, as has been stated you are NOT a moderator therefore it is NOT your place to make comments like this. You seem to like pointing out violations of rules so let me as a moderator point one out to you:

3.7: Don't comment on 'administrative' issues of the entry (such as being off-topic for example), but raise a red flag instead.

If you have a problem with an entry raise a redflag, that's why we have the system.

And secondly if you are going to make comments like this you better be darn sure your right otherwise you not only look like a jerk but you seem ignorant as well.

Oh hahaha! Its you! Makes the picture even more credible.

Author you did a great job! CrystleClear seems to think she is a photoshop pro and can spot things that others can't. She also thinks she is a moderator, which she is not!! Again, great job!

Great take!!

Loopty Loop!

Beautiful silver lining!

Reminds me of a speaker with sound waves blasting out from it. I particularly like the earthy tones you used with your wires (gives it an almost retro feel IMO). Nice work, and great way to kick off the contest!

LMAO! Great idea!
