A giant sea animal living above water? The leaves on those branches (for
lack of a better description) are a bit confusing because of the
transparency I guess. Abstract is a good term for this though surreal may
be a better word. Is there media through out the entire plant-like object?
Not in the "leaves" though?

Cool!!

It's not abstract, there's a lot of recognisable stuff, water/island&sky. The
main object itself may be an abstraction of a tree of plant.
Insane?.... well.............uhm......

The top part of the pic is great, the feeling of motion of the tentakles.
Personally I would chop off the bottom part of the pic, ~2 cm above the yellow,
it's too "sweet". But that's a matter of taste.
I'd love to see a forrest of these.

What is that thing? An atomic explosion that wanted to look like a palm
tree? Too cool.

The things going horizontal up top look like plantains to me. therefore,
definately insane?

No.. It isn't dark, it doesn't have a lizard skin, it isn't connected with wind
in any visible way... Can't really be lovecraft then, can it? *laugh*

The top part of the image is greate, looks like a water colour.

Very relaxing to look at.  I'll look at it again before going to
bed while I drink my drinking chocolate.

Cheers
Steve

I had a similar impression minus the palm comment. I at first thought it
might be what a fractal atomic explosion might look like.

 It's just not mentaly twisted enough to be Lovecraft. I would accept
Jules Verne as an alternative though.

To me it looks like some kind of beam opening a rift in space. Very cool.
Great water texture too, I'd love to see the code.
