Breath takingly surreal...
I'm at a loss for words, honestly.
It's blended very well and all the textures look as though they were real, too.
Fantastic work.

It's hard to believe this is a photo manip!! It looks like a painting! Most manips on dA are just desaturated women with cracked skin crying blood. Thank you for being so talented and creative!!

this is probaby one of the best $#^* ive seen so far. im a big surrealist and dadaist, and i find this to be a bit of a good mix of both. i also like the fact that nobody can say its likes some artist out there. not a dali, not a magritte. not even an dada artist. because its clean yet its not. the sepia effect is whats strong about this. which makes the hand blend in with the picture. this should be a poster for people to just stare and make them think about the message thats trying to say in the piece.

the hand of... the hand seems to be pointing, looking, preparing to dive into something, who knows what, maybe the hand doesnt knwo exactly what its gotten itself into... but i envision a body of water filled with roiling waves... yet the waves are behind the hand... a part of the arm... the structure holding the hand, it begins to look feeble. strong, strudy at first glance, now seems unimportant to the well being of the hand... very well done. very deserving of a daily dev. you have inspired me to try and create as surreal a piece as i can possibly concieve now. thank you.

Very dark and surreal. I have to say that, more than anything, the hand reminds me of a vulture, just by the angle of the wrist and hand, and the 'feathery'look of the sleeve.

I like the sky and the white blots on it, the hand and it's wooden support are also amasing, that and how the hand blends right into it's fluffy collar thing, and how that fades right into the sky, there is nothing wrong with this piece of work. the colors are perfect for what it is, it's a shame I'm not some four armed indian god like Ganesh or Shiva so I can't give you 4 Thumbs up on this piece

I CAN'T go past this! FLAWLESS INDEED! Instant fav, of course! But if you want my real opinion, well here it is...
I think that listing things is probably the best way to do this. Firstly, I love the title. Regardless of wether you thought long and hard or just thought it up when submitting, it definitely works well with the picture. It is very open/ambiguous (in a good way) and enables the audience to have their own view of your work. "The hand of justice dabbles in innocence" was the sort of 'vibe' I was getting from this piece. Secondly, I think your skills as a photo manipulator are amazing, and they are certainly on display in this piece. It is often difficult to make definite shapes merge with single coloured backgrounds without over fading (well Iโm still learning anyway!) but it works real well with this piece.
I guess I could go on forever but I better stop before I fill up your page! I just thought that I'd share my opinions and express my like for this work. WELL DONE, and as I said, INSTANT FAV!!!
Oh yeah, I would be honoured If you'd check out my page and gallery, particularly my most recent stuff. Please leave your thoughts and opinions... [link]

The layering and the text remind me of some of the new covers for the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. Have you ever seen a painting by Dali called Masturbation? This reminds me of it. I love the textures and the colors. Simply gorgeous!
