Clouds? Rings a bell. Aren't they a British thing?

Well, the latest underwhelming news of my own 1.8 x 1 metre copy of the print is that it's gone off the parcel tracking radar just before midnight on the 14th at Heath Row and not been heard of since.

Disgruntled of South East France.

If it was flying via Charles de Gaulle then your out of luck, they have a machine there that all baggage must pass through, it is similar to the machines that they use to crush cars. At least that's my experience of flying through that place!

Obviously some discerning soul at the parcel depot who recognises a masterpiece Olly

What you need is to chop it up into 1000 pieces and sell it as collectors cards. Bung a bit of bubble gum in and you'd sell millions. Swaps anybody?:-)

That is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best images I've ever seen.

Well done to Tom and Olly on that one!

[awestruck]

Truly astonishing. A piece of science and art i would hang in my home forever.

What an amazing image. The amount of work involved to produce an image like this is quite something. Hats off to you both.

Well we received a runner up prize for this last night in Greenwich. Looked better in the gallery than on the interior done. Looks best in the book I think. Closer to what I print it out at.

Congratulations to you both on the prize.  There are some outstanding images entered this year by the looks of the winners and runners-up.

Yeah well done.. I was just looking through them.. Fantastic stuff when you think how far the bar has been pushed in a relatively short time.

Many congratulations Tom & Olly, richly deserved. I'll have to go down to Greenwich sometime to see it in person, the exhibition runs up until the 26th of June. I wonder how big the printed version is?

[ollypenrice]

I don't know, I'm afraid. I wasn't able to get there because we're very busy and Monique's back isn't making life easy for her at the moment.

This image can, though, hold up in print form at a size neither Tom nor I have so far seen - almost 8 metres high. This is really the whole point of the image so, in a competion like the one in question, it doesn't do its thing. We now need to see if anyone would like a big one!
