atomic beauty

First off, I want to give a million thanks to *Atomic-x for giving his permission to use his magnificent photography for this. The original image can be found here.

I started this yesterday, and since I have no life, have worked on it pretty much straight through except the few hours I slept last night. I really wanted to do the original photo justice, since I'm a huge admirer of *Atomic-x's work. I think I did a pretty good job. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out.
