What are you? A mind reader? These were my exact thoughts while I was
preparing to make the model.



suitable bitmaps to use for silhouettes so I dropped it.
I deliberately picked a barber shop to give a hint about the mainstream

discernible in the scene. It is difficult to find the balance in a scene,
showing too much can be distracting, or too little and missing the point,
both can equally be a problem. The scene ended up being very simple as I
focused on the bike. If I took the camera too far away, the small details
would be lost, if I went too close, the environment would be lost. An
obvious solution was to use a window reflection to give a bigger picture.
I want to thank you for your time and nice words. You guys give people
confidence to work on even bigger and better scenes.  Thank you.
