Scale
Here's Mark checkin out these wierd cliffs. I was going to post it as is, but the honest side of me has to say that I cut and pasted him into the scene and the scale is WAY off. That center vertical oval hole is about 8 inches tall...I'm just trying to throw you off and see if you could tell anyway...

RIck, if you added a nice drop shadow on him, this might be believable, :biggrin:

I can hardly wait to see what Mark might cook up as a reply to this one Rick! I saw this image for only an instant (at work) earlier today and wondered all afternoon if I'd have the courage to follow Mark into any of those hibernating snake motels.... even if he did go first!

Rick,
You make your own bed with these type of posts you know.(mermaids).I thought it was real. :eek:

Rick, there is no way I can picture that hole being 8 inches...it looks to be about 5 ft tall...

I can tell that you cut and pasted him now that I look close....

I think this image would stand well by itself without Mark in the scene...I like the lines you have going here... :toast:

I saw this little part in the cliffs and thought it would be some wierd home like in Planet of the Apes or something...
I like it kinda too (w/o Mark in it)...its wierd!

This is just too funny - only it hurts to laugh right now... :biggrin:

I agree with Darren, this shot has enough drama and abstract form & all to work up on its own.....and there stands Mark casting no shadow.....that's scary. Mark, what say you? Come on Mark, give us a good shot of Rick!

The Rickster on the way home.
He told me that he hasn't run a comb through his hair in the last five years. I believe him.

oh boy Mark...your in big trouble now! :mad: :biggrin:

Oh yeah, I'm sure law enforcement from either Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona are looking at this photo trying to figure out which state I am in, if the car is moving, and if they can prove that there is anything in that bottle that is illegal (maybe I've filled a beer bottle with water). All in all, the only thing they have on me is having an open container. I know, I'm in big trouble!
