I fell in love with this from just the thumb, so I knew I absolutely had to write a critique. You have certainly pushed the boundaries of both photomanipulation and dark art with this particular piece. Not only can I tell that an immense amount of work went into this, but I can tell that you truly paid attention to every single detail and made sure every aspect was immaculate.
Even though I do not know what individual stocks you used, I am still impressed with the perfect blending of the different images. It really is hard to tell where one stock starts and the other ends. The tongue is especially beautiful; how it twists and coils around the head and then splits into a snake's tongue. The placement of the round "frame" is also a very smart idea. I get the feeling of it being almost like a cryptic painting on an old, decrepit wall that has come to life.
Apart from being visually appealing, the concept has me baffled and intrigued, but this is a good thing! I still haven't deciphered your meaning behind this work, but I know I will enjoy trying to figure it out.
Regardless, you did an absolutely amazing job on this, and you should truly be proud of it.
