I would not have trim the top Roz! terrific image. I started to comment and then I got sidetracked.
The multiple possibilities of this image are making it abstract even if I recognized the steamer. A beehive in a steamer! seriously good

Thanks for explaining me. Finally I unterstand that the vergetable steamer is a circular basket anyway - I didn't get that before ... I use a pressure cooker so this item wasn't familiar to me... lol

thankyou so much for your comment Barbara .. i kept the bottom so there was more of the 'funnel' coming down from the 'space ship' .. into the darkness sort of .. like a bit foreboding ..

The title is a bit deflating for me. Just call it "Invasion"? Let the viewer make out the kind of invasion.
Well done anyway.
