Great work again, Pat, both in the capture itself and in the presentation. I'm sure it's no accident that the background suggests cave paintings :) Do you send prints of these to the tribes? #7578899

What a terrific character study, in the moment capture, and blast of colorful costume, all in one, Pat. And the background, of course, is splendid, and I am awe of your ability to accomplish such a detailed background swap as this so beautifully. #7579727

Brilliant capture of those wonderful colors, Pat, and the look of concentration on his face is so well-detailed! Superb work, including the bg switch. #7583743

Though I encourage you to re-submit Sands of Time (can't believe it did not garner an EP! - maybe try a horizontal flip for variety) and think Chow Time will be at least a finalist for you, this is my pick for a win from your May entries, Pat. There is only one word for it: superb. #7586505
