Every spring the mother looks on as her new babies are born into the world... This is my first entry for a competition here so is posting this to the forum enough or is it the done thing to post to your own gallery as well??? Zanny

Hi, Zanny! Posting here is fine. Don't post to your site until the voting starts..(I think that's the way) Nice work....I love the surface of the water. A bubble or two wouldn't be out of place though........ The Bryster

Very pretty scene. Posting here is all ya have to do for the challenge. Of course there's nothing wrong with posting it to your gallery as well.

I did think of a few bubbles myself but the ones i did looked too glasslike, still maybe next time. While Im on the subject this was rendered with a DOF of 0.01 and still the foreground rocks looks a little to blurry for my liking. As I cannot lower the number any further is there anything else that would help? maybe shrink the size of the whole scene??????

about the bubbles... you might try boolean-ing a small sphere from a larger one to create a hollow sphere. Then give it your glass texture. Should help avoid that 'crystal ball' look. if you do a search for DOF in this forum, I believe you'll find that it's the general consensus that DOF is not one of Bryce's strong points. Most prefer to render a distance map, then add the DOF in post-work - but for this month's challenge that is out. You might try setting the focal length a little closer (if you haven't already) and maybe get the rocks a little more in focus, without blurring the fish and eggs to badly.
