Daniel - I really thought this would finish much higher, but there was some stiff competition in this challenge. Definitely a lot of PS gurus out there. I think the composition works very well, especially for so much going on.
this image really pushes the editing. However for me, it pushed to too far. I am a fan of extreme editing and such, yet this feels more so as digital art than photograph. To tell the truth, I can not see a photographic element in this image.
