Quote - A side note here:
I knew when I made something (all in bryce) that I would not
stand a chance in you know where ?? (smile)
However,my few votes are from my family and two friends:
I don't ever think of cheating-but people ,friends,family have to know

this was just in fun!

 I joined many years ago here at Renderosity

Well, to put my point on this in, so far as I count, I have no votes.  That's ok though, because I really like the piece that I made, and it is all in fun.  As far as friends and family, I could have called in my entire clan(literally since I'm close to all of my cousins, uncles, and aunts, and I would be in the lead now, but I didn't do that because it would not have been fair.   Besides, I don't want someone to vote on my art because I asked them too or because they were family, but rather because they actually liked it over the other entries.  Good luck to all.
