This is the first pass, Suggestions welcome. I thought of doing a plant coming up at the world trade center. The two plant pictures already posted are better than I can come up with. Thought about baby's but there's a whole bunch of those images too. My youngest is about to be a teenager, don't want to think about any more diapers. Finally, I was listening to Styx - On My Way, and I heard the lyrics " What a beautiful sight, my old life in the rear view mirror" This is what I came up with. You don't have to be new to have a new beginning. Latte and scones for everyone!!

You don't have to be new to have a new beginning. My sentiments exactly......nice work!

Nice idea! Thanks for the snack!

Nice idea, nice work.

Great scene... but did you have to mention scones! I crave those every sept. I moved to the opposite coast and miss them terribly when it comes fair time. Is that a little hedgehog in the right corner? Sorta looks like one.

I like it! My only comment is the reflection in the hubcap, I find it distracting. Excellent pic and even more excellent point. Lin

Badgers! we don't need no stinkin' Badgers!! Sorry couldn't resist:) Not a hedgehog, just the way the texture and shadow turned out. The hubcap is the original texture used as a bump on brushed crome. I can cut the reflectivity some. The car is KITT from odeathoflife. I kept the colors and added specularity, bump, etc. as needed. The hubcaps were still a little too cartoony in bryce. Been adding trees sinking stuff into tthe ground and tweaking textures. I'm also doing my first DOF render on this one. The final should be done in a couple of days. Thanks for the input!
