I knew this wasn't a strong entry. It wasn't for lack of trying. Ben's is an easier style to be inspired by than it is to emulate. So this falls somewhere in between...
Thanks for all the comments!

I gave this a 7 as I truly loved the feeling of being a child and lying on the ground beneath a huge tree a squinting at it until it became a monster that would come alive and chase me almost near home and then devour me ... I was an unusual child I might mention .. I love what almost amounts to abstracts - enough of the original photo so one can come up with a real story that has substance but not enough to take away from the imaginary parts where childhood awake dreaming allows the unthinkable to take place .. this should have done better.. but I have said or thought that about many of the entries .. I admit I don't know a lot about Ben's style but enough to know that is closer to some of the higher voted shots.
I really studied this image in order to see. I like the perspective and the blur only after I figured it out. Looks more like day dreaming as a child when I would lay on the ground and look up at the sky and let my mind wonder. (voted earlier)
