    Of course I do, you're one of the fist renders of the swamp I've seen. Was a bit nervous as it's my first environment attempt. So it was a real thrill to see your render :)

    @fictionariomance: I'm with others, the second scene with the dark sky is really very nice. And not to worry, no one here will ever laugh at the scenes you post. Unless, of course, they are meant to be funny. ;-)

    @JStryder: That's a neat scene, especially with the addition of the two kids. But maybe you're on to something there, pulling water out of the air just by placing a tap in the air.

    Awe thank you. I am still new at this so I struggle with just about everything so I was afraid I had the lighting off or the terrain didn't look quite right.

    Here is a WIP for my entry #2.

    That one's pretty! Good placement of the palm trees keeps it interesting and not too static. The sky sort of gives it an alien look, almost like one of the sets from the original Star Trek series. You might want to consider putting an extra layer of background behind the rocks, like a mountain, go give it a bit more depth. Nicely done all 'round.

    I know it isn't in the rules at the moment, so will let it pass this time, but usually it would be better if challenge entries were niot added to the Gallery until after the end of the challenge, as we have a "Blind Judging" thread for sorting out the winners, and having images in the gallery makes that difficult and having it labeled Bryce render Challenge does somewhat make it obvious. Maybe a title like "Swamp Streams" would have made it less obvious.

    Sorry didn't think about that. I can take it down or withdraw that entry.

    No We hadn't said anything before, so no problems this time, but can you change the title to make it less obvious please. Taking it down from the Gallery would upset all sorts of people, as it does really screw things up when it has so many views, and likes and comments.

    @JStryder - very nice one.

    @fictionalromance - that's going to become a nice one.

    @Pam - I did wonder several times when I saw entries here appear in the galleries but I've never checked the titles. For myself, I had thought "All renders must be new renders." also means unpublished.

    Really beautiful work on your latest entry. Nicely done all around and as I recall, the original idea for this challenge was Tropical streams so this render really fits the bill on that.. Well Done! (Thought you had only been using Bryce for a few months so far - Could have fooled me)

    @STKydd: Really nice scene.

    My 3rd entry is titled "Forgotten Bridge at Sunset." In this scene, I finally created a terrain which would allow the use of one of the bridges I created using Wings 3D. I'd created one scene using a daytime sky, but wondered how it would look with something different. So I looked through the sky library and decided to give a sunset sky a try. What's seen in this scene is the first sunset sky I chose, and after tweaking a bit, my 3rd entry.


    Edit: Replaced previously submitted 3rd entry with a modified version of the same scene.

    fictionalromance:
    wow! "entry #2 Prehistoric Stream" really pops!

    STKydd:
    "Highland Gate" is a wonderful scene, the way you have aged the environment, it really looks like it has been there for hundreds of years.

    GussNemo:
    ya! you got the bridge in the scene, I like the choice to silhouette the bridge.

    @dana: Thanks. The occurrence of that scene was a happy accident. I hadn't thought of doing the scene that way, but when a sunset sky changed the entire look of the scene to what you see, I was pleasantly surprised. And used that sky in the daylight scene I had decided to enter.
