Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

The lighting make is seem sort of extra-planetary, as if this were a scene from some space colony with a different sun or something. Cool!

The Amazing Kevin from Cleverville, Australia

It's definitely surreal. Looks like something straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster where some psychotic teenager is about to run rampantly through the 'burbs. The shadows in the foreground add a touch of spice to the scene. Well done. :)

@The Amazing Kevin: You are extremely kind. Your nice comments keeps me going
