well... this would have been my "From the Ground Up" submission had it not been for mis-information from a member of SC... I can't squarely blame them though, as I'm a big kid and I should have been able to figure it out on my own.

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.
d'oh! the legal one is sooo similar! mr. perfection, just had to tweak it a wee bit too much. that really sucks, because this one was fabulous!! sorry you were misinformed, too... that doubly sucks.
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.
