    Neat idea! thumb.gif Can you get the egg to glow a bit more -- as in lighting up the hands and face a bit more?

    Thanks Aaron. I can't do a reshoot but I may have a different shot of two hands holding it.
    I was actually gonna do something like the dragon but was just experiementing. I'll keep working on it.
    I was going to title it weird science. I'm just kinda grasping at straws now.

    Is this what you mean? Or do I need to do something more/little/or just different?

    BINGO! thumb.gif

    Not sure which of the two I prefer. headscratch.gif While it's nice to clearly see the figure inside the egg, the diffuse version seems more realistic -- as if you're actually looking thru the shell.

    Thanks Aaron, now I at least have something to fall back incase I don't get my original idea.
    Ilooked to see if I had one of her with both hands, I do but she doesn't have the cape on and it doesn't have the same mood.
