Well, here's an early WIP for my winter challenge entry... It focuses around a solitary rose, now, the interpretation of this can be taken many ways, a heated winter romance, where the very cold chill around you seemed to melt away. That one shining bit of hope in the coldest darkest days of winter. The feeling of the invading approaching spring. The warming of a wintered individual with love. Flower power etc. Jk on the last one. The image itself is all bryce except for the motion blur effect which was created afterwards in photoshop, the rose is supposedly melting and breaking the ice around it in a rush of water etc even through the snow itself. I know I need more greenery in the back. Metaballs, terrains, my grass, patience, simulated caustics, etc... I need some ideas for this image and fast. I'm going to delete this after I get enough criticisms so that I can improve it (just the image that is, not the post). Thank you VERY much if you are able to help out.
