Just so you know, Paul has only been in the states for about one out of the 
last six months.  So, anyone who's tried to reach him and gotten no reply, 
he's not ignoring, he probably just hasn't seen your message yet.

I *think* understand the comment, but I want to make sure.  One of your 
illustrations (_Suchomimus_) has the palms turned inward in the proper 
position.  The rest are in the position (palms down) that would require the 
radius to cross over the ulna which is seemingly impossible.

Exactly.

Three fingers is right.

Overall your technique is nice and I'm sure that you'll continue to improve. 
 Good luck.
