This looks like you only used filters. That's not enough for these contests, rules state: "In a source contest it's mandatory to use the provided source image in your entry. Not only use it, but also manipulate it in some way. Of course you can also combine it with other external source images."
I suggest you read the rules and guidelines found here: http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/

It was my first attempt, I'm still learning!

Hey author! It's good to learn, and you're never too old (or young) for that! Spaceranger has a point though, but in case you'd like to keep the entry as it is, can you explain in a Step By Step how this is done? Good luck!

I would remove it but don't know how!

Distorted the wings using fisheye, changed the hue, used solarization , changed the texture.

Members aren't allowed to remove their entries once posted, only mods can do that. In your comment you wrote: "Distorted the wings using fisheye, changed the hue, used solarization , changed the texture.". You should post that in your description. That might be enough explanation since the rules do state:
"5.4. No External Source used in your Entry:
In this case, write in your description how your entry was made.

Keep in mind that if there's something not clear, the moderators might ask you to explain or post a step by step guide. This way we can keep the contests fair for everyone!"

It's great that you're learning Photoshop and you've come to the right place to help you learn. Members are very helpful and will give you advice on your work. If you have any questions or need help just send me a PM (Private Message) and I'll be glad to assist you.

To send a PM just click on the member's avatar then click on the green bar "SEND (member's name) A MESSAGE".

Thanks

You did a great job on your first entry author, we all start some where, and you can learn a lot from this website. Good Luck, and welcome to pxleyes
