Hey, Darryl -- way cool! Agree with Tracy. The eyeball is even the right luminosity, and your detail of the reflected iris is a hoot.

This is really great, Darryl!!! Terrific idea and great imagination. Reminds me of an old SF book called Day of the Triffids. (Hmmm...now where did I pack away those golden oldies...)

I thought of putting moon and stars in mine, but didn't think it would work. I ended up putting a sort of eye in mine as well. Twisted minds think alike.

This one is good - quite subtle

Just so you'll know...Rex (my Friendly Computer Guru) came upstairs while I had this image on my desktop, walked past the computer, did a fast double-take, and nearly fell down he was laughing so hard. He's a big Science Fiction fan and thinks this is the greatest thing he's ever seen.

I can see a story behind that eye. It's almost as if it was sorry it HAD to be born. Now it'll bring truth back to the world. Great artistic vision mayne!! Thats what I love about this site, it moves all of you great artists into creating new and fascinating images that will endure. It's going to be hard to pick a favorite for this contest. Again: fantastic mod. mayne.Good luck!!

I'd suggest doing a little more modification of the chestnut images to make it stand appart from the other images that use this photo. I really love the creativity, and customization of the photo would really put this in the winner's circle in my opinion.

I agree with caedes somewhat, it does need something to set it apart a little more; but then again the subtelty is part of it's appeal... hmm, how about some big curly eylashes? :-D

Excellent job Darryl! I'll be honest though, I think it could look better with some manipulation of the surround as Caedes suggested. But I can't take away from what an amazing job you have done sir, and this sure is a contender as you have manipulated so well :o)
