OK… this is the last one. I promise! The pedestal on the second post was appealing to me but it seemed too short. An extreme at the other end of the spectrum from the first one. Also, as Marshall Gorrow (WoW) pointed out, the curve was not "sweet", a result of being done in a hurry. And I did want to try Jamie Donaldson's suggestion about moving the camera back and not using the zoom to improve the image.

Curt Fuller and a few others suggested that this would look best with no pedestal at all so here is the "Curt Fuller version":

And Chuck Jones (WTU) suggested that it did not matter because it would look good sitting on a dogpile. So here is the "Chuck Jones version".

In a reply to v2.0 is was commented that: "…one of things all artists struggle with is "when is the piece done…"
To this I can only say that I'm not trying to be an "artist" here. I'm just having a bit of fun and trying to satisfy that lifelong desire to "make something". However, I am done with this! Experimenting was enjoyable and educational but the results are inconclusive. It's still not glued on!
