I like the image Arnold. Looks like the aliens might be in trouble.
I must tell you that your image exceeds the allowed pixel size, and memory size. Allow me to make some suggestions.
Convert the image to .jpg format. My way of doing that is to take the image into MS Paint, and then saving it as a .jpg image. MS Paint can also be used to reduce the pixel size. The maximum allowed pixel width or height is 3000 px. So your image could be 3000 x 3000 px.
My apologies for having to tell you this.

   Outstanding image Arnold!  I really like how you were able to meld the spaceship into the environment.

Got another Big Picture Image.
Skinless Fembot Android
Your thoughts on Androids are intriguing, especially given the advancement of artificial intellegence.  Did you ever see the movie, "Ex Machina" that came out in 2014?  The question it raises is about if you can trust that an android, that is your companion, is on your side.  Androids/ Robots can/will have the ability to mimic any action and expression of a human.  She may have an entirely different reason to interact with you.
   Changing subjects, I've found that you can bounce light off of a prop to light something else in the scene.  If you were to create a spotlight and put it behind the camera and point at the left wall to 45 degree or so, you should get some highlighting.  The bounce will depend on the reflectance of the prop to some extent.

Thanks Arnold. Hope you have not gotten rid of the original. I always save my best resolution images, and delete any smaller copies. Detail is more visible the higher your resolution is, and you have lots of detail in your image.

I thought it might be more appropriate for me to post an image here just now, given the sadness of Agent's situation.This one is called, "The Guardian and the Mage".
 
jammixx, as much as I appreciate the gesture, This image is not as large as it should be for this thread. The lower limit for size is 2000px in height or width. The other dimension can be whatever you wish, but at least one direction must be 2000px or more (up to 3000px). This means if you were of a mind to do so, your image could be 2000 x 1 in pixel size. LOL Of course few, if any, will want to do an image like that, but by the rules I set for this thread, the pixel size could be like that. The maximum size for any image in this thread is 3000 x 3000 px. That is practically square poster size.
If you have a larger sized version of this image, post it here, so long as the allowed memory size is not exceeded. If not, please move this one to the April Show Off Thread.
Cheers.

Young Teen Tiffany E Flirts


She is almost 15 years old, and has been developing into a beautiful young lady for a bit over 2 years. She's a bit awkward in her movements, due to the changes she is experiencing. Even that serves to attract attention. Having discovered that her beauty is a source of attraction and distraction, she sees young boy's heads turning wherever she goes. Often the boys suffer accidents, because they are paying attention to her, rather than to what they are supposed to be doing. One boy bangs his head into a metal post, because he is not watching where he is going. Another trips over the edge of a heavy carpet, and falls to the floor. Yet another gets hit in the back by a thrown ball in a game he was playing, which knocks the breath out of him. All of this makes her giggle.
She is now stepping up her game, adding a flirtatious nature to her actions. She is still not ready for a serious relationship with a boy, but knowing that the boys like her a lot makes her feel good about herself. She knows that when she is ready, she can have her pick out of all the boys that like her. To ensure that she will keep that until she's ready, she practices ways to keep them interested. The way she walks, talks, and looks at a boy are all part of her strategy. She has also begun dressing to attract their attention. Soon she will have her Sweet 16 Birthday Party, and she is making a list of her favorite boys to invite to the party. From among them, she will choose who her first date will be with.
