Inspired by Scalvert "Terminated"
Used epoxy for the metal, and painted it with silver spray paint.
Edit:
Levels and contrast I wish it was advanced editing. Dust specks on the top right bugs me. Oh well, had fun so that is what counts.
=======================================
Thank you all the votes and comments a personal best. I really wish I had more time on this challenge. The "metal" is epoxy that I put on a sheet of paper; unfortunately I forgot to tape the sheet down. So during the drying process it curled up. The bubbles are because it was not fully dried before it was painted. I did try paint, silicon, but all had their problems. The epoxy was the best. It was strong and easy to move around. I just wish I had thought of it earlier, and not spent so much time on the other two ideas. Had lots of fun, and yes I could not bring myself to hurt one of my Canon caps.

Heh... now where have I seen this before? Looks like you were working with something too rigid to create a smooth transition. Something like Play Doh or molasses might have provided cleaner joints. Still, a clever take on the challenge.
Neat idea - and good composition. Something looks a bit off though - I think it's the shadow under the 'liquid' chrome or whatever which makes it look solid rather than fluid. A creative treatment though and worthy of a decent score.
Clever idea and clearly you spent some time in making the "puddle" of "liquid" metal but the illusion is let down for me by the shadows between the bottom of the silver and the white surface. The holey surface (presumably where bubbles popped) is kind of odd too. BUT it's a great idea and fun too.
wow, I'm gonna have to find out what you used for the silver, nice job! bumping this up to a 9. hope you don't get dinged for the mark in the top right, I think the focus is spot on and the composition is great, (wish there were more negative space at top, actually also a little more all around) but this is awesome, nice job
Have seen the idea before, but what's new here... I like it, even with the (mean-to-be) fluid metal does not fit the surface. The sensor dust on the upper right is a bit distracting, being this a basic challenge your only choice would have been taking the photo again after cleaning the sensor.
Haha, very clever and convincing. Know this is basic editing so I am not going to mark you down for it but that hair in the upper right corner is kindof bugging me, I know you would have taken it out in advanced editing... Gave this a 7, clever idea :)
