This is not the image that came immediately to mind when I posted the challenge topic. But I found this rose and wanted to put it in a picture, so I went back and re-worked something I'd been fooling around with since pidjy made this building available... Trying to get decent light rays streaming through the ruins like pidjy did in an image he did of these ruins. I thought it would be a perfect place for the rose. Frankly, I thought that this interpretation might be a bit 'cliche', but I liked the way the render turned out, so I decided to go with it. I'll work on that first idea I had now, and post it later just for grins. Ruin model/texture by pidjy, in free-stuff here. Can't remember the name of the person who did the rose... no read-me with the file, but I remember that he is Japanese and had many highly detailed fish and a few plants on his site. If this rings a bell, let me know because I haven't been able to find this site again for some reason. Hope you like...
