wow-excellent for a 1st attempt, this is looking very good! i dont consider myself a profesional, or even an expert at bryce, cuz there is always something u can learn new from it. The first thing I would add would be some haze, the color depends on the mood u want, dark grey would make the place look dreary and scary, or just white would make it look like somwhere on earth. Secondly, u should bring the dragon more to the center of the image, jst because he is one of the main components of the image. Im guessing u have some type of paint program (painter, photshop) and u can add ALOT to the image just by messing with the color effects and special effects when ur done. as far as ripples in the water, ive never done them bu im pretty sure there is a tutorial somwhere on the web... These are just my suggesetions, but do whatever u think will make it look better, just expereiment alot with colors/lighting. once again this is extremely good for a first try, and i cant wait to see it finished. peaceout
