i am not sure why you would want to take a perfectly acceptable picture and turn it into what ever this is. what the hell is it. I do like the red though, could be the pits of hell or outer space.

Tell you what though, if you stuck a $9000 ticket on it and said it was modern surrealism you would sell it

Yup, definitely pop art I thought. Got a kick out of how this totally works upside down.

Yipes! Well maybe some people savor the "brown ribbon" status, but I can hardly believe this entry ended there. Still, notice the average from commenters. Thanks for the background information. In the future, I'll be more careful and not predict "lower end result", at least to avoid any residual guilt from possibly issuing a jinx.

Sorry, the processing really doesn't appeal to me at all, and I can't tell much about what the original photo might have looked like.

An extreme example of abstract impressionism, this could very well have been painted by any number of classical masters of the abstract, impressionist or pop art genres. Very clever and different. Probably not to everyone's taste which may affect it's overall rating, to this reviewer it demonstrates the power of the digital world and how it can create beautiful and impressive imagery different than the ordinary cookie cutter imagery that is normally produced. A standing O for being very creative. Well done.

I don't like the colors, but can't take my eyes off the composition (partly because of the colors). Potential candidate for hanging in a modern art gallery. I'll vote 7 for orginiality and impact, but predict a lower end result in the DPC enviroment. Hope your notes tell more about your intent.
