Very cool capture of these aliens - I love their colors and smooth complexions, and the cute ears on the tall guy!

Thanks, everybody, for the kind comments. With the couple of references to extraterrestrial, I decided to rename the image.

Terrific! Really extraterrestrial! Great work!

Very cool shot Jerry. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at, but the complement ofl colors and shapes and composition and glossy almost metallic surfaces make for a very interesting abstract. Lora

Jerry, what a great shot and entry for the challenge! Maybe you should have named it "Creatures from Outer Space" or something like that. Just look at those ears on the leader! Seriously, this is really a beautiful image!

Wow! Jerry - I'm hypnotized by the bubbles. They look almost alien-like; and I'm a huge sci-fi fan. Most excellent indeed.
