You CBR'd the source. (chopped beyond recognition) You could have made this image with anything. It defeats the purpose of a source image contest. The text doesn't look good either. My suggestion would be to remove the text and try to add more of the source image into it.

It's beautiful, but I have to agree with Jaw. For this work you could have used any other image than this no. 1. And you used the wall... So, when you have a source image, like this contest, you have to work on it, since the image is recognizable (even distorted).

it's true that you could have used other images to achieve this, but I really like the outcome anyway!
