thanks for the comments. I am suprised that it made it through the challange with out being DQ'ed.. for those of you who that that the woman in the image looks pasted on that is called "outer glow".... it was intentional... I can do a much better job masking in PS than that, but for this image it was what I was going for. Anyway .... my $.02

Nice work. The figure in the lower left adds some humanity to what would otherwise be just an explosion. She seems blatantly pasted in (a bit sloppy), but this actually works for this image.

Hi. I gave you an 8, sorry if this gets DQ'd. The whole debate going on about everything having to be your own photo is bizarre. This is still very clearly your art and I thought it was very effective.

Interesting work, but it's too much photoshop and not enough photography for my taste.

The person in the bottom left feels pasted on....otherwise it's interesting.

I would have tried to focus on the garden and not on the chicken-wire fence. Because the fence is in focus, it looks like it is the subject of your photo...

Interesting effect by focusing on the fence. The fence probably needs to be a bit more substantial to make this work since the eye is constantly drawn to the out of focus wheelbarrow.
