 I know this isn't awesome... But... I really HAD to enter for Jan.

I had spinal surgery a week ago and have very limited mobility and time allowed to sit up at a computer. (This is the wall of our daughter's bedroom where I have been set up for convalescence.)

I really, REALLY wanted to enter to show Jan how glad I am that he's here, and to encourage him with the number of people who care about him.

This one's for you, Jan! Dwell in Possibility!

And... thanks for blessing me, Jan! I'm looking forward to having a score to watch again. It's been a while...

So glad to see this was yours, Lydia. I gave it one of my highest scores for both originality and sentiment.

Sorry to hear of your surgery. I do hope it clears up the problem and that you can move freely again.

On the contrary, I think it is quite awesome, both in concept and in execution. Well deserved finish!

Clever idea. Nice use of negative space allowing the story line to unfold from the fan through to the furthest cloud. My only quibble is with the extension of the water out of the frame --- it looks more plastic than realistic, which I guess was not your intention. Not that I'd be capable of coming close to accomplishing what is otherwise a fine, surrealistic image.
