Author, not sure if 2nd source link is working, just goes to a DA page with lots of stuff. Is the hand part of photo 1? Can't see it. Pretty interesting chop, though.

Very clever use of the dragonfruit. Gotta agree about the darker background against the light egg - it's the contrast that will make it more dramatic, same thing for the inside of the egg - good work on that, too.

Gads, this is very interesting - didn't realize til I viewed in hi-res, and you've got such patience! I'd love it if you included how you made the little holes and wires in your sbs, I'll wait to vote.

Edit: Thank you for that explanation, author - your steps 1 and 2 just look like black dots, so I guess after that you did further manipulation. And now I've voted - that partially explains your patience! Simple, but so effective. Holy moly, did that take a few days for all that 'surgery'?

Author, this has promise, but you need to list the source of the cube also - unless you made it, then you should show how in the sbs. Good luck!

Your tutorial link does not work, author, just a listing of lots of sites. SBS would be good.

Thanks, Geexman, yours does work, I'll check it out - I'm a sucker for stuff like that!

WOW, this is incredible work, author! Great sbs, thanks for sharing, those are some interesting techniques. I think the high-pass adds a sort of sparkle to the foliage. I personally like the subdued tones and I think Mr. Wyeth would be impressed.

Nicely done, I especially like how you did the stem of the (not a) pipe, as well as the background contrast combined with focal point of the burst.

My thoughts, too, Bob - looks like an H.R. Giger creature. Great background find, stacking and warping, author. Love step 5 showing how you made the spine especially. LOL@your title.

Very nice job, love the flower pattern, but you've got %, it should be 10/6 - that is, if this is a Mad Hatter hat... you nailed the shape, tho!

Author, this looks good, but please upload your sbs as well as a description, per the contest guidelines. A hi-res would be nice, too.

Maybe fewer stars or lower opacity on some, but I like your concept, and design for the breathing apparatus.
