The Strange Creature From Planet X - a photo on Flickriver

            
Deeply buried in an unmarked planet in the far reaches of the universe, space explorers came across this bizarre creature emerging from the ground!  This was the last recorded image of their transmission before it all went to static...has it been awoken?  Is it heading for Earth?

Ok, here it is; what I consider to be my masterwork, at least so far, in the realm of abstract art creation.

As you can see from the original photo I posted below (which was taken last November), I took the editing on this one quite far, and really pushed the envelope.

To get a real feel for just how many layers and how much overall editing went into this work than my average photo, let me break it down for you this way; after editing, most of my photos I can save as the very highest quality with 5 layers of progressive scans and they will usually save at between 15 to 20 megabytes.

When I went to save this creation, with the usual highest quality settings, it was SIXTY SEVEN POINT FIVE (67.5) megabytes!

Very much larger indeed!

So I had to save it at a fairly lower, but still very good, quality setting.

Anyways, I would love to know what you all think of this one!
