DANG!!!! Such a great and sharp image! Love it :0

mind blowing work here...crisp and very artistic

i was waiting for this..... Such funtastic work..., good luck author...

try blurring the background a bit using a gaussian blur to make the sea horse pop more. I think a nice blur will make the background less distracting without taking away from the piece. Nice work! GL author.

great work

Stunning ! very well done and source use is unquestionable

IMO the background is needlessly distracting, but this is extremely well done. Looks more like a sea snake than a sea horse, though. Nice work, author.

What can I say more? Just spectacular! Even though I don't see any leg here, it's not important anymore, just enjoy the beauty of this piece. Magical Friday night!

KERPOW!!! wonderful creation !!!!

Cool overall. However, the interior spiral's perspective doesn't quite match my expectation of a planet being spherical. (The unbelievably high smokestacks in Source 1 are especially problematic.) And moon-as-disco-ball doesn't really work for me, but it is an interesting idea (that admittedly works fairly well in low-res).

Coooooooooooool

well done

COOL!!!!! Thanks for using my pics! I always love seeing what can be done with them.

Really cool! Love the extra elements added.

Congrats!!!

CORNELIAAA MY LOOOVE! CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!!!!!!
