    Judge Comment: This is a beautifully-articulated cover for a magazine's "Dream Issue." Nicely art directed: the cool blue/green contrasted with the warm tan/red hits a perfect note. The peeling wallpaper effect adds to the surreal dreamscape feel as does the moon and stars pajamas.Nice lighting/lighting effects. Just great choices and execution top to bottom.
