Judges' Comments
The title says it all! What an incredible imagination and with the matching skill to make it a reality. It is very difficult to conceptualize something abstract and make it "tangible", this creator has definitely mastered this skill set. The atmosphere created in this layout otherworldly, i am especially impressed with the golden water surface reflection and the fish that looks like stars, what better title than "Galaxy"?
