Thanks Sand Rat! That's the kind of reaction I was hoping for! I re-did this piece and re-posted it, worked a little on the photography as well. I hope it works out.
Hmm - overall clean paint job. Basing needs some work - another layer or three of sand to make things look like they are actually in the ground rather than on it - especially under the rock. Or some flock around it to tie it to the base.
