That's quite a bizzare shot. Very original composition and clever colour work. A little shame that your hand isnt in focus like the rest of the shot but hey, we dont always get what we want :-) High score for originality.

This is a little scary. Great job coloring it towards *cough* whatever it was you were trying to create. :-)

Did you make a negative of the image in exception of the eyes? How did you do it?

To make this affect i used a filter called Pleasure Dome, and then i played with the bightness/contrast of the image afterwards. i know it is a bit creepy but thats what i like about it.

Happy Daze:)

Very creative composition! 9/10 for originality and color choice. The creepiness makes it better. :)

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk. -Jack Handy

Very eye-catching! ^.^ It reminds me a lot of the work of Brian Froud (www.worldoffroud.com) - very fey, very evocative of mystery. I particularly like the way the mushrooms at first glance (to me anyway) appear to be lenscovers over the eyes, just slipping off. (The world as seen through 'shrooms?)

This is really great:) I even put this on my desktop but...I have to confess that it scared me everytime I looked at my PC so I had to change it for my psychological stability;D
Anyway!:) This photo remind me some really interesting feelings.
