I agree,however the fact that it is filed in the customization category confused me. most artists on DA would probably submit this as a digital painting. maybe I'm wrong but customization is adjusting/changing a basic form/idea/photo into something different,please take look what people submit under the customization header/category All i see are pictures of my little pony ponies that people have changed when i browse through DA photography/ landscape submissions that I like and i want to know whether something is an actual photo (sometimes it's unclear if someone changed the colors,or other elements) i check under which category it was submitted the digital painting category usually indicates that it's not a photo think your work qualifies as 'difficult to determine' whether it's a photo or not' all i am saying is that in my opinion you shouldn't submit this in the customization category..maybe i'm wrong, regardless it is a wonderful piece.
