So:
- I really like it.
- It's just Photoshop Trickery.
- Anyone could do it.
- But I'm the one who did.
- Am I just kidding myself?
- Would I dare submit such an image for a show, contest or publication?
- Why the hell not?
- But what if they think it's completely tacky? Gimmicky? Trash? Without Merit?
- Should I care?

I love it. It showed me a different world, yet an interesting subject.
I like the image because it takes me a moment to figure out exactly what it is. Makes me look to see if there are other elements in the image.
I am not so sure everyone can really do it.
My guess is you use some sine-wave pattern in the curves function to create a solarization effect.
I suspect the image has not been altered, removed or added items and therefore this is not different that using x-rays, crossing processing or heavy contrast light and paper.
Therefore it could be entered in almost and contest.
For me the original pixels are only the starting palette and I regularly do add or remove my electronic paint swatches to arrive at an image that portrays the feelings and ideas I have about the subject.

George, I couldn't possibly answer all of those questions but as to "should I care?" I would say no, definitely not. If we all cared then no progress would ever be made.
