It definitely has the WOW factor! I really like it, it feels organic to me, like it could be the back of the eye. With it being 'oracle' it gives the feeling of supreme knowledge of the cosmos. It's different and its thought provoking! Lovely x

Friend that's incredible!!! It's the crucible of what we see in the minds eye of the cosmos or some devine epiphany. Im quite awestruck. A brilliant piece well done.
Love it.

Greetings my friend,
You are most kind as well as astute for you obviously understand my own thoughts regarding the symbolic imagery of this piece . . . It is rather like the "Eye Of God" on the Cosmos . . .

I posted a reply to you on my profile. I dont know if you get that in your mail. Your piece reminds me of the quote "If you could of seen what I have seen with your eyes" Roy Batty Bladerunner.
Piece my friend.

Awesome color and I really like the dust clouds that look to be held in place by unseen magnetic fields

Well THIS one is certainly of a different feel than what you usually post. XD Must be the digital manipulation. While it DOES look really cool overall, I feel like it (plus with it being centered on the canvas the way it is) gives that more common look that I've seen in a lot of other works. Especially digital ones.
Don't get me wrong though. It still DOES look great overall and I would TOTALLY put it on my desktop. ^_^

Greetings,
Thank you for your comments. Your suggestion is well taken . . . Generally it is best not to have the focus in the center however, as this is intended as a desktop backgkround, I feel it is better the way it is. Desktop perimeters are frequently filled with icons and would obscure the primary image. I also wanted this to be centered due to the conceptual and symbolic nature of the title's inference . . . You will note that I did compose the heart of the central image slightly off center to avoid having this too "centered."
My best,

Yes. I did notice that it's not EXACTLY centered. However, with it only just being nudged off like that makes it feel unbalanced. At least to me. Though I do understand the centering for the sake of the desktop icons. Good thinking. ^_^

Really something. I wish we had night-time views more like these.
