**The Canyon Run Ambush** --- Dragon Train Heist - 47/51, 1428 ELO, 100 matchups. 36W 51L --- OK, you can call me stubborn, even masochistic maybe, as I bring these results upon myself through my stubborn determination to be creative and original in intrepreting the theme. For this one, a play no words came to mind when thinking of ways not to create something that was literal and inclusive of elements of the sample image. I thought of a wagon train in the old west, so explored a dragon train. Doesn't totally stay true to that as their is only one wagon. And struggled a lot to get the elements in order. A real challenge to get this image. --- 1 - Submission 2 - Flawed images needing work

Same as Sealine, I give props to the creativity, but didn't quite resonate the concept with the theme. I can relate to the stubbornness to be creative and original though, as I am someone like that too.
