Aperture: f/8.0

 Just like the first one , this involved full cream milk, food colours and a drop or two of dish-washing detergent (which sends the colours scooting every which way).

Often the resulting colours are very pretty and gentle, but this one turned out looking threatening and scary, which is what made think of the nightmare angle, so I grabbed a dude to become a part of it.

Not much post processing involved, mainly a crop and some level/brightness boosted.

To the people who couldn't find the original:

I included the original's title (Hues) in this title, and tried it out via the Image Search box. The search results showed only two photos with that name, the other one being VERY different, so I figured it was pretty easy to find, but I guess I was wrong.
However, I still don't know how I could have done it any better, since I don't think we can do a clickable link in a title.

Thanks for the pointer to the image. I took Hues II to be the title of the challenge, not the entry. I searched challenges (didn't find it) and I searched by title (your title) and didn't find it. Referencing the user (you) would've matched the way I was searching.

I still gave it a 6 though. I did an initial scoring pass based on the images as a standalone piece and then modified as necessary when (or if) I tracked the original down.

Much better than the original, colours are more vivid, I'm not sure the man enhances the shot though
