Now that you mention it you could be right !!! Could explain the sour note.

OMG! He's blown a Fuse!

As ever, beautifully done. Impressive. I am going to offer up one very rare tiny niggle. There is something about the clouds moving from behind the hard edged mountain skyline in shot three that does not quite convince me. Not sure what or why. I really can't put my finger on it. Edge too hard? Some kind of subtle variation of brightness needed on the mountains? Anyway, by any standards, it's a mere quibble - but your work is so consistently good that one tends to find the tiny irrelevant things pop out.

Linda this is great. The blend is faultless. He really belongs there. Nice idea too ...... although I suspect Simon's preparing something scathing to say .......

You are absolutely right David. I’ve only just noticed it after you pointed it out. Its the angle/perspective..that’s what the problem is. I had a different set of clouds which I was playing with but somehow ended up with the wrong one.
Being in a hurry to watch the new season of Game of Thrones, I didnt review it as well as I should of done. Too late now to change it but hopefully the passionate kiss deflects attention from it.

With the thorns underneath, love

Sticking into your gums."

Lyrical Poem

"They went to Spain, but never again

The men there drove her crackers.

They stood beneath her window at night

Shaking their maracas"

Rural English crime related to Morris Dancing?

Depends whether you read Margery Allingham, Ngaio March, Dorothy L Sayers, Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey or Daphne du Maurier ......... maybe Ruth Rendle might just squeeze in at a pinch.

All those women! What can we blokes offer? G. K. Chesterton, of course, Freeman Wills Croft, Edmund Crispin and maybe Ian Rankin?

Re: Challenge 663: Morris dancing
Anna, as always, I am in awe of you.

I didn't have time to do a proper animation this week. I ran across a tutorial on this technique and thought I might give it a very basic shot. I don't have a way of syncing the sound track to the movement other than listening to it over and over again and hoping I've put the keyframes in the correct spots.

I agree with Ben. She was there all the time in the background. Since Ben beat me to it, here is another offering. However, I don't think he'll be very successful finding a mate of the opposite sex in this parade. The same sex, however....

What fun!! And the sync looks spot on to me.
