Lovely set, Mark. These bigger versions are even more impressive than those at DPR!

Superb detail Mark!

Thanks a lot, Toto, Ely, Ka Mastah, and JV!

As for the third image, I was experimenting with larger upload dimensions, but it seems my image hosting didn't produce a 1200x800 (size of the first two images) version of the original.
