Sky Castles

Even with his sand castle only just begun, the boy's imagination is already hard at work.

The full view is 2x, and easy on the eyes.

Here's the original cloudbank, just for fun. As you can see, the shapes were already there... Can't you see 'em? (dragon, knight on horseback, castle)

I'm not entirely sold on the dragon, but the horse and rider are breathtaking.

robster said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 11:53:50 AM EDT

superb!

benlus said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 12:15:42 PM EDT

good work!

yeahright said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 12:31:34 PM EDT

Well done. I'm not sure if I like it better with the kids cropped out. Still a nice image.

wingbat said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 12:50:16 PM EDT

Well, I really enjoyed the reflections in the water and the "backstory", but more importantly I don't think my kids would forgive me if I cropped 'em. :)

great job

Simpletonic said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 12:52:29 PM EDT

Excellent work on the dragon. Those who ignore full view only shortchange themselves.

m000ch said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 2:18:12 PM EDT

beautiful. Only word I can find. Really special.

digammo said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 2:58:03 PM EDT

looks very cool!

Tigastrophe said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 3:16:42 PM EDT

Good job. I can see it was largely there in the clouds already, but still required a lot of tweaking.

SpacePope said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 3:29:31 PM EDT

Amazing...Fanf**kingtastic. Definitly the best of the bunch.

BoC said 5 years ago 12/30/2004 6:32:10 PM EDT

Very nice! I especially like the dragon (and its breath weapon). This one was easy to rate.

Wonderful image! And I really like the "context" with the children.
