great image, love the honest emotion present here. Looking and waiting for the bus, the semi-clenched hand, tilted head - all very real physical characteristics of the little guy expressing his mix of bottled up emotions. Sad this didn't place higher.

lovely detail in the gemstone, it truly looks to be something larger, trapped in the confines of "hammered gold"

Velociraptor: A dominant species who predated Homo sapiens
by RyanW

Comment:
Thanks Don, i was hoping this would score higher, i guess the masses decided that only landscapes and currently living species are worth preserving, and the fact that we have been able to discover so much about those who came before us, while speaking to our own desire for knowledge, does not merit value in a time capsule about the planet (despite the fact the dinosaurs inhabited it far longer than we have!) :p

for the record, would the people who voted this between a 1 and a 3 please stand up and take a bow, and let me know specifically what about the entry irked you so much? I have no intention of backlash or retribution, i just truly want to know what about this image you found so heinous.

Roland and his Ka-Tet will be along soon, and the sound of a horn, blowing clean and true will herald his arrival; then the red king will know once more that his quest ended in failure.
