Five inches long, thanks for the nightmares I'm going to have tonight. Besides that, cool shot.

ok, last time I wrote half a page on your Cheeta post because I was in awe, then the next day you posted some Lions and I was speechless.. So let me just say as a humble student who has much to learn... someday I would love to create images with a fraction of your talent and ability... and that's all I'm gonna say

thank you,

Vin
