The best loosely-related alternative I could offer up is a crop of a 3D scene I'm working on again recently (after having started it and put it off for a few months), in which I'm trying to get some transparent and slightly reflective materials to bounce light correctly.

Totally loving the Ice Rod.

Drat!!! Totally didn't think about it. I'll see what I can come up with in the time left. If I miss it, it'll be two challenges missed in a row.

Edit: Nothing like what I wanted to get done and it only served to show my dirty sensor.


Not sure why the image isn't showing:

OK, so bit later than I planned due to a hectic day, but here we go... drumroll please....

... and the winner is ... (Dramatic pause, for effect) ...

julesstoop for this entry. Loving the colours and the ghostly figure - You also managed to kind of bend time too! Brilliant!




After you posted the photo of that "black" bowl, I was hoping for something else from you, and you didn't let me down.

And an honourable mention has to goto PB PM. My eye keeps getting drawn to the moon and its reflection right in-between those two red dots!

Onward with September then J.

OK, I have given up keeping this sig up to date. Lets just say I'm the guy that installs every latest version as soon as its available!

Yes, Congrats to you! I really liked it as well.

I even almost feel bad for what I submitted. I was planning to do a bubble on a plant outside but it never happened.

Thanks Paul, guys! I'm honored!
I even sort off doubted if I'd place this picture, since it's relation to the subject is of a philosophical nature, and not really literal. So I'm pleasantly surprised you got it Never underestimate AppleNovans!

I'll come up with a new challenge this weekend.

Give Jules a few more days, and we'll go from there. I was kind of surprised to come back from my trip and not see a new topic.

Has anyone PM'ed him yet? He's been on the board since being picked. I'm guessing he just forgot about it.

I know that it is too late to actually enter the contest, but as I posted earlier, I did take a photo for it that I had intended to enter, if I had gotten myself together in time. For what it is worth, here it is:



I called it "cottage life" on my flickr page. It's a pic from a summer evening at our cabin in Quebec.

When there's an eel in the lake that's as long as a snake that's a moray.

I rather like that one. It took me a second to figure out what the woman was doing at the coffee table.

Ha. "The woman". It is hard for me to get used to her being called a "woman", since she is my daughter. She is now 14, but she is taller than my wife. They grow up so fast. Anyways, she is working on a puzzle. My other daughter, 16, is playing her violin. Her boyfriend (also a difficult concept, but I am getting used to it), is doing the dishes at the sink (at least he is doing the dishes). Just out of the picture is my wife, sitting at a couch just past the left side of the picture frame.

Who's the old man reflected in the window?

I like it, Chinney.

Congrats to julesstoop for winning the comp (not so much for then disappearing! ).
