this is absolutely fantastic .. magritte and escher are a couple of my favourite artists .. just for their weirdness ..
i love how you've captured the magritte feel so well .. congrats on a great place in the challenge .. :)
I'm surprised this didn't make top-10, or maybe even ribbon... It's a lot more interesting than most of the formulaic images the "beat" it, at least in my eyes. But it's not a pretty woman, so you were working under a handicap I guess :-) An 8 from me.
