Intriguing piece. Loved the images chosen and composition :)

I do love this piece and can't wait to read the story it inspired! :-D

Perfect for this kind of challenge, a piece that implies a big story without nailing anything down too hard. It looks great, the glowy murk of the big image against the crisp dark inset images.

This wallpaper already tells a whole story. Very nice use of Sheppard the astronaut in this picture on the wall. And pensive Rodney ... very lovely!

I like how Astronaut!John in the poster looks so bright and sharp compared to the other components of the artwork. Rodney's slumped pose gives rise to many possibilities as to what is going on. *intrigued*

So interesting! Love the way Rodney's frame is set into the larger soft shot of the cosmonaut. Rodney seems so worried and with John looking over his shoulder (and on his tablet), I can only imagine the concern is for him. I like this a lot.
