This is a piece by Christos Magganas called "Elektra" for ATI Technologies Inc. There were several pieces by Magganas in DG that caught my eye, but this one was the most impressive. Mostly it is the brilliant colors that he uses mixed, with soft and sharp lines of the image. It is also very well balanced and her body's gesture is interesting and holds a lot of power. She is both organic and abstract. The sharp abstract form that caresses her back looks almost like wings, or possibly a black bird. Whatever it is, the suggestion of transformation is very strong. Whether this female is the Greek mythological Elektra who helped her brother avenge his father, or the supervillain from Marvel Comics, the mystical aspect is captivating. This piece is incredibly amazing and shows some great skill using Photoshop, some day I would like to do something like this, that would be amazing.

The link does not work in Angel for your blog. You just need to redo it though and take out the second http://
also the second http does not have a colon so add one! :)
This looks like it would be such hard work to create!!!
What an amazing piece...I love the name of your blog.
I've always been drawn to images with stark contrast. There are some really cool digital art screensavers available on webshots.com for free download. However, the IT guy at work said that he wound't recommend subscribing to webshots due to some bundled software that's installed along with it. But I think you can look w/o subscribing.
I love the detail. It really makes the eye move around to catch what is going on.
