Looked at in large size, it appears to be more than a photograph. Your work in Photoshop paid off well. It comes on a day when the guest blogger on Scott Kelby's Blog suggests that when editing and Photoshopping is done on a photograph, it is of lesser quality than the original photograph. I disagreed, and I think your result stands up as a rebuttal. Not that your result is 'better' than the original, just that your result stands alone as a nice work of art.
