I think it looks like a mask, don't you? Maybe Mayan or Incan, something to frighten away evil spirits. Apop 3D Hack.
Well, it's the start of a new week, so hope everyone's goes well!
It looks positively evil (you did say you're not a "chick flick" kind of girl, right?). That blurred area down front reminds me of recent films of the occult where the editor gives a demon or victim supernatural abilities by speeding up and blurring their movements, beyond the abilities and speed of a normal human. I'm not sure about the mask interpretation Toni, but it does have the feel of a face hiding in there, belonging to some otherworldly creature, waiting until you look away so it can strike. That low blur could be it's mouth. You can turn your head but... don't... look... away. Mmmwwaaaaaahaaaahaaaahaaaa, SNAP!
interesting. I think that the first thing that jumps out at me is the unusual color choice: I've never seen these colors used successfully before, and now it makes me want to try. Second thing is that I find a sense of a large volume enclosed in the flame. Don't know why, but I'm not sure I'd want to be enclosed in it. :)
