| I just had to try building vignettes. And I must say, it is a lot of fun.
Abduction:
A gentle stroll through the city, and suddenly E.T. invites you to coffee,
or whatever they drink.

Hope:
Living for months on an island, then a crate appears in the water...

Peace:
Don't you just love spending your day off under your favorite tree:

The Catch:
The day Bob got the catch of a lifetime:

Going downhill in a rollercoaster:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Wow. That's an awful lot of vignettes. Must have been a busy (or rather not so
busy) weekend for you. I like the UFO one, and the roller coaster one looks like
it has potential. I can't tell for sure from the picture you posted though.

Hey, very nice. My favorite is probably the alien abduction one as well. I
also agree that a picture of the Plunge one where you rotated the vig by about
45 degrees would help make it clearer. I like the concrete shoes one, except
for the gray barrel piece. Its a bit too big and ends up looking like Moses
among the bulrushes rather than the latest victim of a mob hit.

I beg to differ--the beauty of The Plunge is that the viewer is looking up
into the panicked faces of the riders. If the shot is rotated 45 degrees, we
lose that immediacy.
I suppose the focus could be sharpened, but IMO the composition is great as it
is.

What if it were titled Moses the Rubbed-Out Informer instead? 8^)
Not sure what a good option would be instead of the barrel. Maybe a blue 1x2
plate on a gray 1x2 brick instead of the blue legs?
Great vigs overall, though. Nice work, Carsten!
Dave!

Vignette frenzy :-)
I made some pages on Mocpages, too:
