My 5-year old said, I want to ride THAT.

Our (licensed, certified?) Ferris wheel operator! Also, note the ambulance parked nearby! Actually, they were really good about not allowing smaller children to ride by themselves. Annoyed the parents to no end!

"Look down there!" I am reminded of Harry Lime making comments about moving dots, and the dollar values of each of them. "Free of income tax, old man, free of income tax."

    Of the set, #8 is fun for me. There's a good sense of interaction and scale between the dragons and the people. As an aside, go ahead and share just your preferred version. No need to post both colour and b&w unless you have a specific question about it. While I think monochrome is a wonderful medium for storytelling, it isn't an end all.

    @Michswiss: I'd love to show you just my vision-- as soon as I figure out what it is! lol3.gif

    @Nikon1c: didn't even notice the rust. Noticed the swaying and shaking, tho! thumb.gif.

    Thanks, Michswiss, for a kick-in-the-pants. ;)

    Here's some of the above, with added "vision."

    A little tone-mapping to make the first picture POP:
