What a unique application of the contest photo. I love the colorful background. It doesn't interfere with the foreground where the golfer couple is taking a break. The theme of the trumpeting octopus possibly is intertwined with memories of a boating vacation the couple took on their yacht. I can imagine their lifestyle by the manner of dress for the era. Overall, the design is indeed mysterious in the simplicity of the main image brought forth by the message in the mirror. I hope it's reminding them that their love will be enduring.

Thanks so much for including my fractal in your design. I think it fits well with the theme. Good luck in the contest. Take are.
