My entry for the photomanipulation battle tournament @
Photomanipulation Tournament 2014Something awesome this way comes!!!!
We are excited to introduce our newest photomanipulation challenge to the community. This is a series of battles to determine who can out-manipulate the other teams. This is a super long journal, but please take a minute at least to skim it and find out what this exciting challenge is all about. If you want to register, there are instructions at the bottom.
We are seeking prizes! If you are able to help, please leave a comment on this journal or contact Aeirmid.
What is a manip-off?
The manip-off is a series of "battles" in which rival teams/individuals challenge one another to reach beyond their photomanipulation skills and create something awesome. It's a battle to the death, and only one person or team will emerge victorious. We are looking for photomanip "champions," so there are three "rounds" of manipulations plus a championship round to choose a winner.

Thank you all for sending your themes for each other! It is going to be an interesting journey!!!

2. thefantasim & Phoenixinthesky: Scifi/futuristic fantasy
3. Lokiev: Fantasy Portrayal of an emotional moment. The mai
Theme given by guruakki - "Way to My Inner Self"
I interpreted this theme partially as a new beginning or an awakening...someone/thing that was confined, but now free. This is what the butterflies represent. The crumbling ground (at least that's what I hope it looks like to ppl) is a representation of how unsteady life can be before you reach that moment of self realization. I also represented "way to my inner self" pretty literally...no need to explain that
Thanks so much for looking & I appreciate any feedback
