What I started with. I flipped it & used layer blending. Some selective dodging/burning. Some selective blur. There are a lot more of these here.

If you've tried these, you know how addictive they are. Many thanks to cpanaioti who started it all in a side challenge back in 2009. The fun continues in this thread.

I showed this to a friend at work & asked her what she saw. She said "2 eggs." I pointed out the 2 eyes, the nose, the lipless grin & asked her if she saw it. She said no, all she saw was 2 eggs & some pretty colors. So I think anyone looking at this for a literal representation of something is going to see 2 eggs. Which means this is going to score low. Oh, well.

I like this a lot. Would make a great canvas in a contemporary setting.

I am a birdcage without any bird,
a collar looking for a dog, a kiss
without lips, a prayer lacking any knees,
yet something beats within my shirt to prove
he is undead, who, living, noone is...

Love the overall painting field! If I were you I'd try and clean up some of the noise in the future, some of it really makes the picture though. Good job
