Thanks, I was pleased with how those look.

Suspending the God cloud was tricky. I wanted to use as little image
manipulation as possible, so generally if there's a part of the could that's
not in the photo, the support mechanism (even if it's just my hand) is
behind the cloud on that side. For the few photos in which you can see the
cloud in full, I used a long arm made of plates which attached to the back
of the cloud and goes off to the right, right around the midsection of the
cloud. I later erased the support arm from the photo. Taking those photos
was difficult because I was using one arm to hold the support arm balanced
on a stack of off-screen bricks, and the other to hold the camera and take
the photo. It was all very unstable because that God cloud is quite heavy.

I plan to have a whole section of the website called The Law which will
illustrate the many of the more interesting aspects of the "Law of Moses",
drawn from Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. So in the end I
felt it would be best to just show God giving the Ten Commandments directly
to the Israelites in person, or in cloud form, rather.
