I hate to say this, but I agree with Pete! 
His comment is spot on. Congrats on the EC, Victor, it's well deserved. I think this is a very well balanced composition, even the colours are well balanced. And it does have that organised semi-chaos and controlled semi-randomness that you do indeed see in art by Dali. Excellent job!
Conrad
P.S. Best wishes for 2006, by the way, Victor - may it be a healthy, happy and prosperous year for you!
I agree with Pete about the visual enjoyment but it has a deeper meaning, and a powerful one. K.
there is so much meaning distilled in this image.
steve
the EC is well deserved!
I love this shot - the symbolism and the story - excellent!
Shar
WOW!! Thank you all so much, never quite know how the personal photos will go across at times as in its very nature its a personal montage of feelings and emotions all put together in a surreal, symbolic way. Thanks Pete you'll never know how much that statement means to me, glad to see so many Dali fans out there.
To everyone who takes the time to look a little deeper, a big thanks.
take care Victor
Hi Victor,Dali would be proud of you for your fine work but it has such deep meaning and is heartfelt by you and that is how the feeling has come through.Well deserved EC congratulations.Hope all goes well for you at the docs.Take care.Ann
I sat and looked at the large version and it is a must for all to see.Outstanding!!!Class!!!
thankyou for your kind comments,much appreciated.
Have a HUGE hug for a HUGE peice of work
"Though we share this humble path alone, How fragile is the heart
OH give these clay feet wings to fly: To touch the face of the stars.
Breathe life into this feebles heart....lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes,etched with tears
We'll rise above theses earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seem endless....
Please remember me "
The verse I was listening too when I opened your image, thought you might like me to share it.Used the same song for my work this morning too....how spooky is that!

Oh Yes! Awesome image and wonderful work Victor. I love the way you interpret a shot and the feelings behind it, you sum it all up so perfectly. If only we could unlock those betrayals and memories we have, life would be so much better.
Congratulation on the award, it is so deserved. I'd hate to be Pete viewing your work, I'd be giving them all EC's!

Interstingly I was actually looking at Dali's work last week at the Tate - and yes, this really is 'esque'.
Excellent piece of work.
Best wishes, Simon
Nice one mate.
Really pleased to see butterflies again.
Can't praise this (and your goodself of course) enough.
Martin.
Thank you one and all for your kind words. Of to my bed with a smile for a change LOL.
Sharon if your daughter wants any advice on the Graphics side of the proffession just ask.
Victor
This has probably been said, but once again I've shown up late again and there are too many comments here for me to read just now! But this is one of your more poignant self-portraits, and the theme of the image carries over the bright colours. It's another cracker, and I hope it's creation didn't take too hard a toll on you.
David
A work of genius I think. Poignant for me. Thank you.
Always pleased to spot the uplifting butterfly
Dear Victor.....
I'm checking this one out a little late, My Apologies...
This emotes an emotional reflection in time and I praise your talents for a job well done......I spent the last 30 minutes going over the pieces of this puzzle and decided against trying to analyze it and just tell you how very special you are!
A Sincere Congrats to you for a well-deserved EC....♥
Hugs and More Hugs,
Suzan
WOW!!! what can i say!! IF you dont mind, can you please drop me a mail? I need to ask you some questions if you dont mind!! lourens@dreamsenvisioned.co.za
I missed this one somehow, I like it, yet somehow it makes me sad, I look at all the images and see whats happening, and understand. I think I do, maybe I read it as I feel! A good image Victor, very well done. Hope you have improved since this upload. Much love Tess xx
Thanks Tess, as is life up one minute rock bottom the next.
Luv Victor x
I remember this picture back when I first started here on ePHOTO...could have sworn that I voted and commented on it deeply, but somehow I got lost in the shuffle, never the less..Not to late to make mention, that for my own life reasons....this happens to remain my most favorite of your work.... Perhaps it is because it's as if you have taken a snap of my life along with yours AWSOME... I have you bookmarked this time Vic...Sorry
RicoChico
Thanks mate have done likewise, means a lot when someone else gets as much out of an image that I have tried to put in.
Take care Victor
