I really like this picture also. I did a bit of checking into the verse cited. Seems like there are two different quotes. *chuckle* One, like Eric has says "Look at *the* behemoth..." and seems to refer to a massive animal of indeterminate species. The foot note lists elephants and hippos. *chuckle* The other verse states "Look *at* Behemoth..." which seems to personify the beast (not sure personify is the correct word)or give the creatures NAME (not species) as Behemoth...hrmmmmm....perhaps a poorly translated mis identification of a Babo/Assryian devil? (Just wondering, not stating a fact and defintely not looking for a fight on Scripture. LOL) Anywho, I love the image. For my suggestions: 1. In order to make the tail a bit more cedar like try changing it so only the last third of the tail is bending. The dino looks rather diplodican so from what Ive seen it seems the tail was held rigid except for that last third of the tip. Thatd be much more cedar like, IMHO. 2. Like some others suggested play with the lighting. I suggest one Infinite light (for the sun?) and then a couple of spotlights. Ive inculded a link to Dr. Geeps lighting tutorials in case you arent familiar with them. I hope the link doesnt cut off. (the whole thread is graphic intensive but worth the wait. 3. The overall pic seems dreary, as if it was stormy or late in the evening. Lighten it up some. Make it bright. Youre highlighting one of the best quotes from the Bible. Enough from me I suppose. Awesome pic Eric. Hope to see more from you.
