I really like this piece, and I'm guessing it's Dali influenced? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but "The Persistence of Memory/Longing" and perhaps not intentionally, but the face on the ground was common throughout a lot a Dali's work.
In your other works (Thaumaturgy, Esoteric Libido and The Valley of Death particularly), there are very Dali-esque themes, I was just wondering if this was deliberate or not?

i like this one the best, really nice colours and such.
did you photoshop to get the nice colours or did you actually acheive that in your paints?

Well, it's a mixture, really. The foundation and ground paint was developed through painting, but some of the intensity areas and such were enhanced through PS. Saying one or the other wouldn't be true, since it's a combination of the two, really. Hope that's a sufficient answer for you.
Thanks a lot man. Glad you like.

good colors, and good tone in the piece.

It sure has been a longing here, glad to know you're still around.
I could sit and stare at this for hours, and count all the small details.This is disturbing!
Great work.
