...I found the Garuda but I don't see the piano. Or the fingers. Or anything that could possily be asscociated with the source picture.

wow, I found the "Garuda", rhinos, and elephants. hehehe. continue to learn with that filter. because it is so amazing.

NIce abstraction. But IMO, I think that in case of a CBR, a sbs would help a lot the voters (well, I suppose everybody wants to see how you used the source image.)

It is a nice image and I do like the background treatment but as gamemastertips points out the image isn't really source dependent. A similar image could of been created from any number of sources. I've always felt that the point of a source contest was to create something unique to that source. Abstracts are nice but I'm more impressed with the clever use of a contest source where you can see the elements of the original image.
BTW you do need to post a step by step, it's required when no outside sources are used.
