@ Dan and author coughnerdscough XD just kidding please dont think im trying to insult all that stuff just goes way over my head cus im not so smart with that stuff LOL..'
ok all sily ness aside good idea to use them as wormholes

I obviously like the rebalancing of the major elements (both of which dramatically extend beyond the frame of the image). But I don't get why only the second portal produces a tunneling effect. I think the uvula conceit requires a throat-like/tunnel impression from the front/first portal.

Scrutinizing the hi-res, I'm disturbed by the milk frother's apparent transparency in its southwest quadrant plus at 4 o'clock where the background stars seem to be shining through.

Thanks for the information for the "light" sources, there are many brushes out there on the net, which is what a lot of people use and that was my assumption.

Fun idea. The uvula-thing is both creepy and amusing. The unadulterated [purely normal] stars within the wormhole opening deviate from my (naive perhaps) expectation that a wormhole would look more like a tunnel. I also find the composition top heavy. Would vertical-flipping the flying-saucer in the upper right and moving it to the lower right yield a more-compelling diagonal composition?

Author, whenever you have a question about a comment like mine, red flag your entry to get clarification from the contest mod. Good luck!

Good idea, but source 2 is from a blog & not usable. Please read http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

good blending and nice photo effects, i suggest that title becomes Obama palin, and you need to put source1 and source2 at the thumbnail page, good luck

You are allowed to edit your image and upload a new version and even a different image even after voting has started, I guess that's why we have the comments so we can learn and improve.

great detail

Beautiful!

It's a lovely photo, perhaps a little on the dark side?

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.
Good luck

When you upload images there is also a box to tic for uploading the full Res. It really is worth while as the down sampled image you see here, doesn't do you photo justice.

well done, but why no High res?
