Since noone replies to the first Idea i posted as April Challenge, maybe you'd like to go with this one: It's spring now, so c'mon and make a spring scene! That's all. Please show me a spring scene you've made with any software you like to work with. Postwork is allowed. Curious to see your pics :o) Delrino

Ok, I'm a tad confused here. RimRunner has the previous post linked for the April challenge. Is it going to be a spring scene? A scene from a bridge? Or a spring scene from a bridge (aha! can't lose on that one!)? Let us know. -Kix

i did prefer the bridge scene, but i got no response to that idea, so i thought it was a to difficult one and came up with the spring-idea...since this is the second reply to the bridge idea now, i would say we do the bridges :o)

OK, I'm new to the challenge forum but I believe that the bridge idea will yeild a better result. Unless you have all lost your hand skills because you refuse to unplug once in a while. Ya know, fresh air is GOOD! -Tim

Link adjusted to this thread. :) I'm game for either one... and if I can work it, will do a Spring scene with a bridge... just not one from around my area (that whole overpass thing mentioned in the other thread. ;)

okay..so we'll go with the bridge.... don't mind not to make an existing one... i just have a bridge across the street in the neighborhood and i dont want to make that one ;o)... so i'll do the view from the bridge we have across a little lake/pond ...

Bridge sounds like an excellent idea. If anybody else is like me, bridge ideas come launching out of my head instantly. Spring scenes are a little more difficult and could be realy tough to get looking cool. A bee on a flower would be awesome though (DANG, that WAS a good idea, I could have done that one! now beating head on desk). Well anyway, I have a fistful of bridge ideas. -Kix

we go with the bridge idea...this looks more like a spring scene than a bridge...but never mind, its a good one :o)

Made it in under the wire too Kix. :) All entries in for this month ? If I don't see anything else by tomorrow night, we'll start the voting on April.. and see what May holds in store. :)

Ok... no last minute entries.. so let the voting begin. :) Crystal Wizard's entry. Maker's entry And Kixum's is just a couple up from here. :) My own vote: Goes to Maker. Really like the feel in that one. :) Special mention goes to CrystalWizard... hand painting a bridge with the mouse.. oof. I have a tablet.. and wouldn't have tried something like that with the mouse. Kudos! That's right up there with doing post work in MS Paint. ;) (which is to say painful at best, but only the best can pull it off.)

do we post votes in this forum or imm you with them or what? and thanks for the compliment :) Mouse isn't that hard if you zoom in and work close. ms paint? ok now you've got me shuddering

Post your votes here in the thread.. once we have a winner.. we'll have him/her choose the next challenge. :)

ok well i vote for mine :)

Ok, I vote for Kixum. I like the nature vs man made theme!!

My vote goes to Maker. Lovely spring scene.

Ok, I'll vote for mine too if it counts .

Yup, you can vote for your own work, so long as you only vote once. No padding the ballot boxes.

Writes KIXUM on my little piece of paper and hands it in. Awesome work.!

Heres the result of the german jury :o) Makers picture gets our attention... Thanks for joining this challenge.. since i'm very VERY busy currently i made no picture to my own challenge...grrrr...i hate it when things like this happen...

We have a tie at the moment... Maker and Kixum. anyone want to break the tie.. or do we leave it at the tie? :)

I guess i'll switch my vote to Kixum. (since I thought the challenge was bridges and i dont see any brdges in makers image) they're both nice though

So Kixum wins? Congrats Kixum! Have fun thinking of a new challenge for us :o)

There are two bridges that I found in Marker's image. If you look in front of the girl, just above one of the large bunches of purple flowers, you'll see them spanning the gap there.. they're banded log style (foot bridges). :) We'll give it the rest of the day before we declair a winner, but Kixum does pull into the lead with Crystal's shift.

Ok, so did I win?

Yup... so you did. :) Please start a new thread with May's challenge. Congrats!!

Congrats, Kixum!!, I hope to enter your challenge for May. -Maker
