For some reason I've never openened this thread and I was just stunned when I opened it on this page now.
Mahesh, I think that is truly great work. Like so many people I love that photograph, it is probably one of the best photos ever taken and your drawing captured what is in it so well. I looked at it for a long time now. I can see why it would have taken you 15 days and how it would work better in black and white. Color is a science on it's own, a lot of renders are destroyed by bad color composition and it would be difficult to convey the same thing as well as you just did there if it was in color I think.

If you post this up in a separate thread in finished work with a few lines about what it is and what inspired it I'll add it to the gallery with pleasure.

Gonna have to go dig through the other 20 pages of this thread now, after I look at your drawing for just another minute. Awesome
