    Ben.. They are both awesome.. that second one is so creative..
    A + on creativity.thumb.gif


    second is more creative.. and the first has such mood to it and is shot very uniquely..

    Which is your fav?

    Hard choice...

    well since your into blowing cliches out of the water how about "moon on the man"
    instead of man on the moon.. HA HA.. rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    I dunno.. I am thinking.. that is a tough one.....

    The first one reminds me of Hitchcock's birds..

    How about a A Hitchcock Gathering or A Hitchcock Moon.. or something along those lines? I dunno.


    I am thinking on the moon guy.. that's tough...

    just my 2cents, I like one best but I would soften the edges of the moon a little.

    Ben,

    Really like what you did in the rework of #2. You brought out just enough detail in the statue.

    I still am leaning towards #1 though. Just needs a little fine tuning.

    Oh wow! I love #2 but I'm having a hard time tying it to the theme. headscratch.gif It's like the solitary moon and the many birds are both competing for it.

    Linda has a point there Ben on the theme.. you have 2 subjects competing here...

    is it singular or plural.. I did not even think about that... you may have to really "drive" that point home with your title..

    I dunno.............headscratch.gif

    Exactly my reaction when I saw the images.
