I find this quote very inspiring, and knew i wanted to use it as my entry as soon as i saw the description of the contest, It was written by william blake. I first heard it in the movie "Tomb Raider" lol but havent actually read any of his work, but i hope u all like this.

This is awesome work. The composition, complexity, and the quote itself is an excelent choice. Love the colors, and easily readable. 10/10 for me, great entry for the contest....this is tough competition! lol

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. --Dorothea Lange

This is lovely! I love how you've given depth to the image with the repeated text and the flower in the background. Nicely done!

Excellent image. Not sure I'd use it as a desktop because I usually (not always) dislike words in desktop images. I can see why they are absolutely appropriate in the context of this contest, though.

I really like hour glass images for some reason and this one is very nicely done.
