    Man, I misread your title. I thought it said "Dss 63, Nasal." I expected to see a picture of a nose. ne_nau.gif

    It's a nice picture-- needs something, though. Not sure what.

    That is likely a David Clark spacesuit made here in Worcester. It would be less confusing if nasa was all caps NASA, as it should be! :D

    What's it look like in color? Maybe you could come up with a shot that you could photoshop into the face reflection?
    We were also hoping it would launch while we were in Florida. Oh well.

    Yeah! I totally typed it in all caps! I have no idea why it ended up lowercase. Very disappointing, I tell you.

    I'll post the original color shot and some variations tonight. Thanks for the initial thoughts :D

    it's an anti-shouting thing, it autochanges words that are all caps. I think I corrected it for you thumb.gif

    Can you make the background black and add a moon/sky/space background? Then the reflection of people walking around would be interesting and misleading.

    I am completely mesmerized by the reflection.
    The only thing I wish was that there was more room infront of the suit.

    I really like this shot!

    Maybe go with selective colour in the face mask? I'm guessing that is where most of the colour in the original was anyway, and the reflections look interesting

    Thanks for the thoughts, guys! I'll have to get to work on it this weekend. :)

    I do have a couple others with slightly different compositions, so maybe one of those would work better.
