There is a line in a Matt Good song that goes like this: Venus was a fly trap, Men she loved devoured Anyways, that's where the inspiration came from. I know it could be a lot better, but my PS skills aren't that developped. If you want to edit this pic and make it better, please, be my guest. Just let me know when you finish.

I think there is no need to edit;your point is very well made.............quite a shocking image and the vibrancy/saturation add to the intent.

Nice, you finally finished it! It looks good. I like the touch that you put in with the little fly man.

Cool idea.

A little difficult at first to 'see' the main image and that of the nose ... kind of liking the way you have the two mouths in the left and right background hidden more so. Hints at the 'hidden' danger.

The foliage looks great, as does the work on the mouth(s).

Caveats? Hmm, not really a big fan of the big mouth front and center. Sorry for sounding harsh. For me, the strongest illustrative elements are relegated ... literally, to the background because of that one component drawing and demanding the viewers' eyes.

I have to admit though ... you certainly succeeded in stimulating some thoughts and ideas with this offering of yours.

Hope to see more from you in this vein ... it is a good concept and well executed. Some tweaks ... and this would be awesome.

I love your concept and there's so much to look at here, plus the colors are great and generate some strong emotions. I don't have any technical advise to offer, since my photoshop skills are on a developing level, but I can tell u that I like what I see :-)
