Image type and characters - Type A digital picture of a human getting into serious trouble with a Rayquaza (pokemon)

Why this image was chosen - When I first started this group just over a month ago my first review was of Tibex's picture featuring two pokemon. Here is another pokemon picture that was done by Dalbie and it turned out quite well don't you think? This picture made me think it looked like it could be a screen grab of a video clip or short Public Service Announcement titled " When training your Pokemon goes horribly wrong!" The serpentine nature of this high altitude creature means that it's teeth are hidden by a thicker gum like covering similar to what you see in some venomous snakes in RL. The creature's mouth and the way it's head has been drawn in a more realistic way makes it look quite menacing. Since a Rayquaza is thick, looks more snake than dragon like and the position of the esophagus, ( which Dalbie mentions ) is behind the wind pipe you don't see a neck bulge. A nice detail in this picture is the way the ill fated, ( and obviously careless ) trainer is making a last attempt not to disappear into the predator by grabbing at the end of the tongue. The look on his face made me think he's going "Ermygerd! *flail* grab onto something/anything quick!... can't....be.. eaten!"

This is a fun picture Dalbie, thanks for doing it!
