Mars Landing

Thanks for posting the "how-to" notes ... the focus-stacking worked very well!

My only "complaints" are that I think the Martian atmosphere *may* be too thin to make a fireball//meteor as you show, and I'd have tried to give the sand a more distinct reddish cast.

Curious how you got/made the sky ...

Congratulations on the ribbon! :-)

Definitely a "Well dang, why didn't I think of that?" image -- congratulations! I like the way the photos look like canvas prints.

Interesting how it's "fluffed up" its head/neck feathers to help with cooling.

My reaction too -- I'm in favor of all the positive street art we've been seeing (at least around here), thanks for contributing.

You might consider turning the art into a button or poster ...

Ummm ... Basement Time?!

Yes, this is often my photo-taking strategy as well (minus the ribbon-winning part!)

When I was in elementary school my best friend's dad was the northern California importer-distributor for a variety of foreign candy/specialty items -- I was introduced to "good" chocolate by the third grade or so ...

I don't remember the neon colors -- mostly the ones like this I had were a more pastel white and pink, possibly with coconut between the licorice layers.

Congratulations on the yellow.
