Comment by tome:
The collision of Uranus and Neptune - this was one of my favorites. I loved the array of red screams in between.
Good job and a unique take on the challenge.

Comment by Venser:
The hue is different on both side of the face. The right side looks illuminated with gels or halogens whereas the left side doesn't. I'd either tone down the gel colour on the one side or reflect more of it on the left to balance it out.

Because of the blue background, it actually looks like a hot/cold image with the colour gradient traversing the image.

I agree with the comment, it's a nice picture Cory. But what's the wow from the negative space?

AHA! So this is what started your thirst!

I actually find using a flash with my P&S very rewarding and fun, and do it pretty often, actually.

Great shot though- love the colors of the snail in particular, and the angling of the light works great for accentuating the swirl of the shell.
