Thanks Ken!

-By the way, I uploaded this several days before a wooden intruder broke into your house! I'm sorry to hear about what happened and I'm glad everyone's alright. I can't help feeling a little creeped out though.

*chuckle* I like the concept, but not for a challenge about the sky. The sky just doesn't add much.

This has a kind of colorized 50's effect to match your title and concept. Yeah, and it's funny, too. It's the duck that makes it. I figure he's whispering into Megawood's ear, giving him instructions. 9

Nice idea and very well pulled off. Just seeing a little grain in the sky but otherwise, very cool!

Looks like an indoor shot to me. Needs at least a sky backdrop.
