I'm putting you in my gallery because this image belongs there, but I'm leaving you at 7 because I think I know who you are and I don't want the fuzz on my back.
Wonderfully bizarre image! One I think I could study for a long time and come up with many different interpretations and still not be sure I "got" it. Thank you for challenging me :-)
I don't know if this is out of balance. There seem to be three elements that are creating a very nice triangular composition. It is indeed inspired, and very effective. I like the muted tones and the blur.
When I saw this thumbnail, I couldn't wait to get to it. What an inspired creation. I don't know where to look first or where to start. Perhaps with the blaze that is the illuminating sun of this image, radiating outward and in circular sweeps to touch the reaching fingertips and the softly arching back of The Thing. The animal which knows no species. The Cat/Dog/Lamb that has awakened to the dual warming delights of a touch and a ray. My pick for the PH blue.
