awww. a DQ? That sucks. I opened the submissiona and the legal verison put them side by side and didn't see ANY differences. I must be blind. very interesting photo though. It looks like your a giant on a skyscraper rather than an air conditioner. lol.

I love this, I really thought King Kong on a building first, then common sense kicked in. I would like to see this perfectly centered with just a bit more negative space on each side. Good luck with your humorous entry.

Nice idea and execution...what are you sitting on? A central air a/c unit? Regardless, it resembles a building quite well.
