While in Orlando in 1983, I took this. I have no idea where it was, but I call this the Citrus Hotel.
And I'm not much of an orange juice drinker!

Arriving for Breakfast at the Citrus Hotel in a Slightly Altered State

I have just a 13.3" screen, but I'm thinking that's a good thing in this case
(thumbnail more than fills top to bottom, and quite a bit left to right). Fun and eye-catching!
Reminds me of a cartoon cell.

Thanks! It is a bit "Whoa!" on a 55" TV.

I was going for a fantasy land effect. Thanks!

LOL, I would need a living room twice as large as I have now to support normal viewing distance of a 55"

A lot of folks don't realize how close to a high resolution screen they should be to see the details. It's all based on the dot pitch (size of the tri-color dots on the screen). They should be invisible at the recommended closest distances.
1.5 to 2.5 times the diagonal dimension of an HDTV is the recommended OPTIMAL viewing distance for folks with normally corrected vision. So the recommended viewing range for a 55" HDTV screen is 7' to 11.5'. Ours is mounted above our fireplace, about 7 to 8 feet from our couch.
4K UHD sets can be viewed much closer — .75 to 1.5 times the diagonal dimension of the screen.
The old rules for analog TV no longer apply. My parents had their 19" B&W set about 15' away. If I sat five feet away, I got scolded! "You're too close. The radiation will kill you. You'll go blind, first, though. Don't watch in the dark, Bill! Your eyes will bug out..."
I didn't know that about digital; thanks Bill! (I did know about radiation from old tv's, though
)

Thanks! It's one of my favorite conversions already, and I just made it yesterday.
I certainly wouldn't have said "slightly altered state."
