I like what you did with the manip part, those images work really well together. My only critque -- and this may just be me showing my age -- is that the washed-out pastels, while giving it sort of a beachy feel, are really bright and I can't look at them for more than a few seconds. But again, that may just be a personal vision issue.

Well either way I love what you did with the manip. It's very inspiring in a 'go write that damn fic you've been avoiding for two days instead of messing about with php' vein.
