Great capture of this artwork, Rod! impressive to say the least.

Sorry to hear of the issues with NewEgg. If nothing else, hit them with a lawsuit.... ;-}; that will wake them up.

Queen Zlata and Xin Xin have decided on who's coming over to visit you.... Look for her

Hope you get well soon!

I shall be awaiting her visit - with open arms! :-D

Oh! .....I thought for sure you were kidnapped by those snake hair alien beauties, and you were beamed onto an iceberg with one of them that was frozen (the aliens knowing their queen would be starving and needing a delicious snack after being frozen for so long) and then you summoned the T.N.A. girls to send the drones out to rescue you!.....................and after that failed Girl4 singled handedly smothered the snake haired alien to death with her ........... Maracas.

I guess that was a wicked nightmare!!! Good to know you are not dead and are in South Dakota taking ....... really kewl photos?!?!?

But then again.......... they transported you to ........ South Dakota?

Snake-haired aliens?? OMG... There's more of them? Does "J" know about this?? :-P (Inside joke among Fantasy Attic folks...LOL)

glad your not victim of the x files, Rod. so i hear the g men are going to require registration on your cool drones. and real bummer drag about that hack. sounds like your geting hit in more ways then a few. my work also is the pits my friend. love the view of your shot my friend. and hey does Tina need to come over and give you a lap dance for some cheering up? and your always creative Rod, and that is no lie my friend. your T.N.A, inspired the creation of Tina herself and my Zlata cartoons. take care.. Steve.

Yeah, anything over a half-pound that flies under remote control has to be registered. Which means that - like guns - only the law-abiding citizens will register. I don't think someone who intends to try flying hacksaw blades into a prison with a Phantom is likely to register it. Apparently our lawmakers (still) aren't smart enough to figure this out...

Outstanding

What a capture!!!!

The New Year is just around the corner. Everything will smooth out and you will be able to focus once again..With the holidays the girls need a much needed break. Sure they will be back full force..

Hang in there!

too bad about your trials and tribulations. the old clique "it never rains but pours" comes true too often or not.

I like capturing things like this in the same manner. outstanding capture

Amazing structure and fantastic capture my friend !!!

Hang in there. Merry Christmas.

I would bet that the teepee looks much bigger when large :), but you are familiar with geometry...

Scams, seasonal delusions of a world gone mad and no tweety birds singing in the brush can make for a forlorn Winter, however Star Wars latest epic seems to be a resounding success. An outfit based in Miami, Florida (support squad) copied my credit card # for a short period during a trial installation of DISH network and began charging me $9.99 per month for their expertise, should it ever be needed. After six months of leech prying, I finally cancelled the credit card and left them as flotsam in Miami Bay.

As with many others here, I have learned to respect your ability to claw thru whatever dung pile might be thrown at you, so read a few verses from Meher Baba, take your taxes to someone who will expense the charges and eat things that make you happy.

Merry Christmas, my friend, and a very Happy New Year !

That said, try a little (10 mg ) of melatonin for sleep zzzzz fini

Sorry for your troubles. I hope things get less stressful quickly.

Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations I have a few myself and I know that you can't let it consume you all things will balance out in time.

WOW, you've been handed a large bagful of dog pooh lately. Hope things get better.

one of the nice things about coming to your gallery is how many of your fans get really involved in your uploads. A lot of infectious energy from your fans. I was fixed on your work situation and the ID theft, so I forgot about your health matters, and that IRS charge. You've had your hands full! I wish you resolution with all this. And re NewEgg, I know of places that won't expunge accounts, even after theft has taken place; and you should definitely make it public, so 1) others don't trust N.Egg until they shape up, and 2) so N.Egg stops acting this way. In an article a year back, a major defense dept cyber expert was asked if he thinks there's any hope stopping hackers. He answered, "basically, we're f-----d." From an expert! THAT'S encouraging...But we'll find a solution, it's just gonna take time. Hackers are brilliant, and they do it from their living rooms. Sorry it happened to you, esp now.

I love this shot. For its dark tonal values and the sharpness of the beams. It's very articulate. On paper, one might think this pov wouldn't give a great shot, but in the actual photo---full size? It's striking. I love it. You have very fine tonal values in your shots, and your detail is always dead on. I hope everyone zoomed this, as it's a beaut, full size.

And it's fine that you can't comment much---your life right now is a deluge, and it takes enough effort just to manage that. And if you do want to upload, feel free to post old things, archives, doodles, whatever. (Tax bills. I'm not joking: I did manipulations on a tax form! Here's the link---and you don't have to look or comment, it's just if you're in the mood for some tax silliness...https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/tax-art/2526185/) But whatever you do, take your time. I hope all of it will get easier with the new year. Happy holidays to you too, Rod, and all your loved ones. I hope 2016 is a much brighter year!

Cool pov!

This is an interesting shot!... I guess the girls will have to intervene and hide you some where.... Then again, I don't think that would be a good idea... who knows what would happen then.

I do all this gets worked out and peace returns, I for one can't wait to see more of the adventures of the TNA girls.. have a good one!

I dunno..... Spending a few days hidden away is some cabin in the woods with those three ladies sounds like a pretty good time to me! :-D

Sounds like the alligators are getting out of hand around your place. Hope everything settles down to normal levels soon. Try and relax and get a good night's sleep. This is wonderful image, btw. Neat POV.

Alligators... LOL Yeah I'm up to my you-know-what in 'em. And they're starting to get on my nerves. They're all gonna wind up as suitcases and shoes if they're not careful... LOL

Awesome photo!! Nice one Rod.....

sorry to hear all this stuff going on in your life. guess been kidnap by aliens may be a better alternion

Drat! Shortly after getting my credit card I received an eek-mail that my order for Viagra at 69.99 was registered and on its way. I printed the eek-mail out, went to the bank with it and requested the credit card destroyed. I also attached my new card to a bank account with 0.00 balance on it. So NOW they could try all they wanted to, and get nothing. With a 0.00 balance, they won't get a penny and go looking elsewhere. I sure hope you get that account deleted! Write down the number of hours this has taken you, then present them with the bill (lost work time!).

Sad to hear the stress is wearing you thin. May I suggest getting treatment from a good, reputable (medical, if available) massage therapist. As for working with the T.N.A. folks, take it easy. We all understand. We WANT you doing 'em, but not at the expense of your health. A sick Rod means NO fun stuff. So, we're biding our time until you're well again. By the way, perhaps you can turn this credit card mess into a side story for the T.N.S.? That may be some therapy!

Rooting for ya! Keep up the good work! :-)

Sorry to hear about your troubles. May they all turn out to be small ones. Merry Christmas.

Beautiful design and shot!!!!

A great POV for this capture but I am sorry to hear about all your troubles. I think that would be the worst thing to get your identity stolen. I do hope things start looking up for you soon and that you and your family have a happy Christmas and new year.

Bummer, dude! We're having to replace our main credit card ... AGAIN! ... seems like we just did that a year or two ago. Somebody charged groceries in Florida, and fortunately our credit card company sent a text to see if it was okay with us. So now we've got to deal with changing our card info with everybody, which is a royal PIA, as you know!

It's always something.

Great picture, btw! :) I like the angle!

Nice photo well taken
