Thanks! Yes, it does have that kind of look to it. Not sure it was all intended,
maybe subconsciously. But as I look at it more I am seeing those elements.

Thanks again. The sticker graphics are located in my Artwork folder if you want
a closer look.

Suprisingly, I really didn't use much lighting this time. I used some bounced
daylight and a 75 watt soft white lamp for the exterior pics. The interior pics
were all from a single 75 watt soft white lamp. I think it's the camera. I used
a Sony CD Mavica and it has a big Carl Zeiss glass lense. I think that made the
difference. When I took my Dragonstar pics, I used my cheap Kodak and I had all
kinds of lights going and it still wasn't enough.
Thanks for your kind words! :)
