For some reason it makes me feel sad. Perhaps it is beacause it looks like it is raining hard on a peace of some beautiful artwork..very nice creation!
Rob, it's amazing to me that the thing that stands out in this posting are the textures. Take a look at the dark red area near center shot. Where the red transitions to silver I can see textures. Astonishing work and quite attractive.
My dad was always after me to get the lead out of my glass when I was younger Rob. He wouldn't have said that if he had seen how cool it can look. Good post.
