I personally thought this month's challenge topic sucked. Drac, your description of dieties and us being god's of bryce (or anything) was a bit too close to religious lines that I dont like to cross. Of course, I dont hold anyone to the same lines so this is just offensive to me. I also found your list of what you thought fit the topic was unacceptable. Art to me is about freedom... exploring the imagination with as little boundaries as possible. I think a challenge winner going into such detail about what you should or shouldnt do in one's art is counter productive. I also think it's down right silly to not allow imported meshes while at the same time allowing picture composites (2d picts). This was hardly a pure bryce challenge, imo. All that aside, I think the entries were wonderful. Use of 2d picts, off topic entries, mediocre scenes, underworked or not, has nothing to do with how much we can appreciate the beauty in each one's efforts and imagination. Blue
