I am re-working a piece I did 2 years ago in bryce 4. Updated using poser Spectre skull bought from daz. redid texures with and rendered in bryce 5. Trees, tombstones and fence from truespace. Skeleton bodies from poser 4. Plants and torch from bryce 4/5. Please provide comments, thanks jquest

Wow, this is very cool, spooky too, your skeletons have such a wicked look too. Sharen

Oooooo, spooky indeed. Very effective. I wonder if you mightn't have a bit too much light for the subject, though. Then again, I'm often accused of not having enough light in my pix ;-) so that's a pretty subjective comment from me. Anne

Thank you for the comments. I did not want it to dark, because then lost the skeleten textures/bump details. tried to use torch as main light source. 2 small radial lights (set to 10 intensity each) to bring skeletons out of the shadows.

The green fog/mist in the background looks a little too uniform to be mist/fog in a forest swamp....maybe its just the bright light on it or maybe it needs a texture gel effect.....really like the tree texture.

Greeting Sipapu, I took your suggestion and darkened the picture a bit. I have place it under the Bryce Gallery. Thanks for your input. Greetings Kate, I was looking for a Artistic background fade-out, instead of a photorealistic one. I saw this method done in the Bryce Gallery here over 2 years ago and wanted to try it. Thank you for comments. peace jquest

Cool how did you do the fire on one of the skeletons torch? really cool

Cool looking picture. Will stay away from this swamp while I am still alive.
