 I had no ideas. I thought, and thought, and thought, until a light went off. Literally.

Seven images: stars (from a screen capture of a starfield screensaver), lamppost, sky, grass, flower, body, hair. Worked all afternoon trying to create a "plausible" arrangement before applying flood filter. Layer of glamour glow to finish it all off.

I love it when an image starts with a bang:

7.8571 - may just be the highest score I've ever registered. Even if only temporarily.

Derek's comment is dead-on. I couldn't seem to get the body away from the "island". It's the thing that bothers me most about this image.

Hmmmm... Have no clue what image they think I took outside the dates. I took all the shots the day before rollover, except for one, which I took the previous day. My camera is set correctly. I do not concur with this decision.

If you are not in that space that some artists are, it's hard Johanna. Remarkable work for a largely SOOC master.

Really like the elements of the photo and the colors. Not fond of the off center for the island that leaves the extra blue on left but the eye is drawn back to the isle so it seems to work.

Interesting, but the scale doesn't seem right here at all. The island with the pillar looks as though it's the same distance as the woman, yet it seems as though there would have to be some separation.

interesting concept, my immediate impression was "Narnia" because of a light post seemingly where it doesn't belong. Good work on the starry sky.
