Sorry for taking so long to get back with all of you about the challenge (been working in the ER the last 6 days). To clear things up a bit, a photograph needs to be imported into Poser then create your image. Any photo can be used except for using cyclorama (that would be cheating a little..LOL). Use a 2D photo that you really like an let it be your background. Postwork can be done in Photoshop, Painter, Dogwaffle, etc. Keep in mind that during your creation of your image, it all has to be done in Poser. The challenge this month is one that is both artistic and technical. Artistic because you have freedom to create any mood within the theme of a summer activity and technical because you really have to work at blending a 2D picture with poser to make seamless image. Hope this clears things up a bit. Good look to all!!!
