This was an enjoyable challenge to watch and follow along as artists made their wonderful contributions. And as always, it’s unfortunate that only 3 can win the top spot. Out of the 35 entries I immediately picked out 10 that I considered extraordinary and caught my eye. This is not to say that the remaining were not without talent, originality, compositional and esthetical forethought. It is wonderful and refreshing to see such diversity in ingenuity when it comes to compositing and modeling in Bryce. Finally it came down to making the hard choices. I spread my 10 favorite on my screen and after a long while of studying them, these are my top 3:

1st: Lown #17 - 3 points

2nd: rjoo1 #28 - 2 points

3rd: Orbital #5 - 1 point

My hardest choice to select was for the 3rd place spot. After selecting my first two top favorites there were 5 terrific images which I felt competed heavily for that spot. I scanned each image many times and boiled it down to three. Yet again, leaving me to pour over these final three for some time before grudgingly coming to my decision.

The remaining 4 entries for this spot were Thandaluz #30, Dan Whiteside #32, Duo #11 and Garmac #4. And these go into my honorable mention list together with the remaining 3 of my initial first 10 choices and they are: jrcejaspulido #20, navarone9942b #26 and finally akeel1701 #34.

Kudos go to Brholte for deciding this terrific challenge.

Congratulations to all!
