Ok, I've taken into account the great number of comments and suggestions-thanks everyone. No post work is done on these images, but would like input as to which image should be considered for my final render befor I begin post work. Bryan

I like the lighting of the 'top' one, as well as the sky behind her. I like the placement of the moon in the bottom left as well. A combination of the two? But if it was just between the 3 of 'em, I'd take top-center. :) - Rim

I like the top one for the sky, but I like the bottom right for the shadows. Also the top one's smoke seems to have taken on the sky tint. They all look really good, great job. P.S. I like the smaller butterfly ;)

mmm. hard to say. The colors are more saturated and dramatic on number 1 - number two has more detail - and the third is starting to lose it to shadow. I'd go for either 1 or 2. Maybe layer them and make one a bit transparant to mix the two together? Very nice progress on this - you definately got the hang of poser-to-bryce mats :) Lyrra

Bottom right one. The top one has no shadow for the fire-rocks, makes them look like they are floating. I like the slight haze over the water in the left one, but it (overall)just comes off as too light. Definetly bottom right one, with maybe the moon added back in. Great pic! AgentSmith

I'd go for the bottom left one... I like the moon and the interesting sky... Also, the lighting makes everything else in the scene observable, whereas in the other 2 pictures most things get lost in the shuffle... For instance in the top picture and the bottom right one, you lose the tree in the back, whereas you can clearly see it in the bottom left one.. Anyway, that's my pick for clarity's sake.. Also, as an additional FYI, make the smoke over the fire a little more transparent... Less defined edges... As for the light coming from the fire, give it an orange/yellow filter, since right now it's too white... But yeah, in the end I think you're going to come out with a great scene here...

well, I guess it's time to get in my 2 cents... I like them all...but like everyone else, I like combinations of the images...The bottom right has a good shadow for the rocks under the fire...I really like the moon in the bottom right and the top has a really awesome sky. The bottom left seems like there's a little too much light on the mountain...and the other two seem like there's not quite enough. I agree with tradivoro on the fire and the smoke. All three are excellent images! When you ask for opinions you'll get all different kinds from different perspectives. Take all the advice into your thought process and do what you like the best...it's your creation after all. Jared

ok...tried to make a combo of the 3 pics...thank you all for all your comments and suggestions. I have put up this new quick render. I think this will satisfy most people that commented, since I was truly indecisive. Unless there is something just terribly wrong, I'll go ahead and render this new one and post in the bryce gallery. Thanks again! Bryan
