Thanks for the comments , its appreciated.
Odessey, I think this is how people use multi pass rendering, someone mentioned this idea when I posted previously for help on this issue a while back.

Zekaric, I am fairly certain I won't win anything. It is hard to tell how well you do sometimes if you don't win something or get shortlisted because they only post the winners and honourable mentions, so I may never know where I placed. Maybe CG talk will do it different this time and give the judging results.
