@chohole - If you didn't know, the ABC combination technique is in the manual. The move went smoothly, thanks. @zescanner - While on the road i realized what the archeologists found - a coke bottle! LOL. I don't know if i'll use the bottle or if that's even gonna be the backstory for the final image. We'll see how it evolves. I thought it was a great punchline, though! 8o) @Kylara - I agree about the need for rocks. Once i pick a final camera angle i'll populate it accordingly. As for the sand color, i agree that one would expect it to be the same as the mass of rock it came from. Unfortunately, that's rarely, if ever, the case. Ground rock is usually lighter in color than a chunk of the rock (try scratching one rock on another). These colors are still in motion, anyway. The green on the rock doesn't work in the scene.
