That reminds me I must give Tom Melly back his DVD before I start working in the
lowlands.

Wouldn't fit with the feel of the scene I had in mind. The fact that the
feel hasn't come across properly is another issue.

Most of the pictures I do have a story behind them, even if it's just a few
lines. I tend to find that picture and story come together.
They're not always action scenes, but I find those the eaiest to recreate.

Hmmm, interesting analysis. Not something that I thought of.

I'm not fully satisfied with it either. I'll put it aside for a day or two,
see what comes to mind.

Yes I remember a very early idea for a piece that involved a remarkable
shift in point of view utilizing a reflection somehow. At your best
your narrative inventions are very exciting.

Aha! Now if you'd done that in the TC-RTC Gail, you would be able to go
into your account and make the wrong image 'dead', and then re-upload the
right image and make it 'live'! :o)
Nice image, btw. Are the bubbles randomly placed by hand? I think the
bubbles work well. I think I too would have the guy standing guard, but I
would also put some kind of machinery in front of him just to break that
bottom right-hand corner up a bit.

Thanks
> Are the bubbles randomly placed by hand?
No. It's a loop with a random seed for each column, which are then placed
semi-random in a circle.
I can post the macro if you want.

The idea of a guard sounds good, I just have to figure out how to make it
apparent that the people in the tanks aren't there volunterily.
My poser library is, unfortunatly, not that well stocked.

Oops! Sorry, I meant 'suspend' instead of 'dead', and then 'make live'.
