Great shot, it looks so busy! It looks like you did a septal effect with a negative photo, but everything is crazy! Really neat shot! The water looks really cool, almost like mercury!

purelysnow from Chengdu, China
I'm not sure why, but this makes me think of Gilligan's Island. It's definitely a busy photo, but there's still a calm element to it as if everyone's in their boats taking a siesta.
