Yep, since you mention it, that's all I can see! Very creative.

Wow, sharp eyesight you have to spot this. This is absolutely great in itself, but the fact that it resembles ET makes it even better! The two colors are very nice together.

That's a pretty cool find, Harley. Although I've never been there, it's not something I would expect to see in DV.

E.T, Phone Home!!!!! What an awesome find. I think you could auction this one off for at least 1.5Mil!
Of course I wasn't there, so it's hard to pass judgment on color, and it is always subjective... If the rock was mostly a gray hue, then this has a cyan tint to it. Mind you, I think it works well with this image and contrasts nicely with the warmish off-whites. I only mention because we often don't see colors the same after working on image. I know I'm affected by that.
Great find and capture.

Good eye, Harley - it looks like he's smoking a pipe? I like the strong three-dimensional texture. The dark rock may be a bit on the blue side, but it depends on the time of day. The color of the quartz veins (ET) looks right on, though.

If the figure on the left had a big nose this could be Snoopy meets E.T.

All I see now is Snoopy and ET! Thanks, guys!
I really like this, Harley. The details are excellent, and I like the contrast of the dark rock against the intrusions. The cyan and blue may be a bit heavy, but it works against the red and pinkish rock. The composition has a nice balance of tone and lines. Well done, sir!

This is a fairly engaging composition once you spend time looking at it a bit longer. It reminds me of modern art or a Kangi Japanese character. My initial thoughts were that this would look better if it had been 'cleaned up'. That is, if the brown had been cleaned off so that it was white on blue grey. But I'm not sure because the cracks in the white add a lot of interest here. Nice find.

I'm with Igor on this one. I saw the Kangi character before I saw ET. But now I also see ET. Nice abstract with fine stony textures.

I just want to know who the hell is he talking to? Nice find, looks sorta like a Picasso. I could see more room at the top for the supporting cast.

Great eye! And now I see the short-nosed Snoopy too!
Love the exquisitely detailed texture.
