"Did I write 300 push ups? I think I mistyped a couple of zeros there :)"
You wanted to write 30000? :-) How long did it take?
Cool one, Gary. I love the natural effect you reached with the lighting, really fits the barbarian. Another well deserved ribbon again, congrats! |

I read somewhere that Roman soldiers were required to put on wet leather bracelets before going into battle - leather contracts when it dries, the soldiers were so desperate to get them off that they would win every battle. And that's how the Romans beat the Barbarians :))))) [10] |

| so you killed all your brothers and now you are hunting down the rest of the competition to insure another ribbon, eh Gary? Your lighting here is excellent, especially on the blade of the axe, where it would have been easy to overexpose the edge. great expression, great catchlights. oh well, maybe red or yellow will be left for me... :) |
