Description
Viruses are predators.
They don't move, they don't eat; they don't even breath.
But there's a thing they keep doing for every second of their existence:
Hunting for their prey: humans.
But we've got our defenses: the immune system.
That big cell is a macrophage, one of the soldier of the immune system.
It is phagocytating the virus: i.e. it is literally eating it.
And then it will continue to follow its objective:
To search and destroy.
This is my first attempt at doing a scientific image; well, it is not absolutely realistic (viruses can only be seen by electronic microscopy, and the proportions are a little wrong) but I tried to recreate the macrophage (nucleus, cell movement, etc.) and the virus (proportions, nucleocapsid, etc.).
The virus is from the family of the Herpesviridae.
Hope you enjoy it... Comments and/or critics are welcome!

This is pure P5 Firefly Engine;
there is only a little postwork blur in PSP8.

P.S. For a little I thought if this should be posted in the 'Realism' or in the 'Surreal' gallery... ;)

I think it is a good start. I like the colors and the imagination to look at the inner space instead of the outer space. Great job.
