      I'm honored! Would you do me a favor and include a link back to the original on that piece, though? And I'd of course appreciate it if you don't post it in any art shows or anything. =) Nicely done on the piece, though! Very impressive. I like the slight variation in the sky colors.

      Sweet! Glad you like it =0) I'll try to post a new picture... the glare is weird on the one i posted. No prob on posting in art shows... it's a school art project. =0) I posted a link to your original photo and another to your awesome profile on my picture info. =0) By the way... i love all your "backstage" Disneyland photos! How'd you manage to take those? *see ya! =0)

      Awesome, thanks! =D Again, great job.

      As for the backstage shots...they're sorta my ongoing quest whenever I go to Disneyland. :P I seek out areas where I can get brief, obscured glimpses of backstage and photograph these accordingly. It helps that I know a lot about the backstage layout from studying aerial photos and talking to cast members and studying blueprints, but part of it is just keeping my eyes open. Areas near the edges of the park often provide the best photos, since that's where onstage starts breaking down into backstage all over the place.

      Really, my whole point with these photos is not to expose what Disneyland "really is" or anything, though. I think it's absolutely amazing how well they hide backstage, and I wouldn't have it any other way. But I do find these little glimpses fascinating, and helpful as reference for my models, too. =)

      Wow! Cool! I love taking backstage photos as well and looking for "hidden" areas. Once when I was little I got lost looking for my family and ended up in the backstage hallways of Star Tours =0) I can't wait to post a picture I took out of the window of the monorail of construction on the Nemo Subs! It's a fabulous picture considering it could only be taken in a split second as the monorail passes over the lagoon. It's a miracle it's clear!
