Photoshop contest - keyhole

I wanted to be like everyone else with this one. So I used liquify for virtually EVERYTHING. So there.
Mind you, I used the burn tool, smudge and lots of the paintbrush tool too. Not to mention layer styles, image resize(!), masks, paths and lions and tigers; oh my! Tried Filter Forge for the first time in my friggin LIFE too. Then for good luck I sprinkled my monitor with holy water and sacrificed a virgin to the dark gods.
No matter how POORLY my picture does in the contest... At least my girlfriend loves me.

OH YA!!! Only used the source 'cept for the background image.
