"I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now"

I was begining to take this personally Agent Smith Pidgy - 3 - stylish Alduin_dor_Lammoth - 2 Collette - 1 - great Honorable mention to madmax you were close Hard choices - well done everyone

Gregsin 3 ICM 2 abreojos 1 Great job all around!

Haloedrain - 1 Rochr - 2 Pidgy - 3 Very hard to choose. All images where good and close together. But there where 8 images that where slighty better then the rest. And these where the 3 I chose. I wish there could be a challenge with 3 images of astronomical quality that really stik out above the other entries to make voting easier. 8P

Tuttle - 3 points Nuski - 2 points Alduin - 1 point Beautiful entries. Great work everyone.

There were a lot of entries I really liked that were great underwater scenes. They just didn't suggest an abyss to me. Even with those removed it was still hard going. I finally settled on: 3 Rochr 2 yrtrouble2 1 Alduin_dor_Lammoth Wonderful work!

Great entries...a few turned me off because they showed too much of the coean floor, and this is supposed to be an abyss challenge: a great deep void.

Rochr - 3 great modeling and atmosphere.
Nuski - 2 good lighting and scene movement
Pidgy - 1 excellent concept
CHRousseau - honorable mention for originality

Nuski- 3 MadMax_br5 - 2 yrtouble - 1

This was astonishingly hard to choose from. A big round of applause for all the hard work that everyone put into this ( I know I spent hours on mine).

That being said, here are my picks:

pidgy - 3 Giant eyes just freak me out

big hoovie - 2 This gave me the claustrophic feeling I associate with being in small spaces and/or underwater

dan whiteside -1 I can see this in the future - people punching a time-clock to go do a blue-collar, underwater job

Are we going to have to start making categories - ie landscape, abstract etc?

Well it made a little diference. gregsin 3 points bound4doom 2 points abreojos 1 point - TJ (bikermouse)

Great theme, great images! 3 - Nunski 2 - ICMgraphics 1 - Vile

ICMgraphics -3 Pidgy - 2 darkginger -1 and who knows, on any other day I may have voted for 3 totally different images. But those were my feelings today. All were excellent.

Pidjy - 3 IMCgraphics - 2 yrtrouble2 - 1

Gregsin - 3 ytrouble - 2 pmoores - 1 Hard to choose. If I had to rechoose, they'd be different. Gregsin didn't say abyss to me as much as some of the others, but the image captivated me so much I had to pic this. Everyone did well, lots of creativity and imagination.

Rochr - 3 ICM - 2 Madmax - 1

Madmax 3 Love the use of deep sea creatures/illumination. Alduin_dor_Lammoth 2 great idea, love the landscaping big_hoovie 1 good lighting, like the use of periscope viewing. Great job to every one. It was not an easy choice!

This was a really tough decision all the entries were excellent. ICMgraphics - 3 nuski - 2 pidjy - 1 Great job by all.

pidgy - 3 points hyperborea - 2 points nuski - 1 point There were many more that I liked, but those were the three that really 'did it' for me!

Rochr - 3 (awesome! ) Vile - 2 ( great pic) Nuski - 1 ( I know u've been working hard on it) And thank you to the others to keep such a hight quality level.. Cheers from paris

Lammoth - 3 yrtrouble2 - 2 madmax - 1 A unique aspect of creating art is that there is no right or wrong, no good or bad! Preference is based upon individual interpretation and taste. What one person may see as a weakness in an image, another person may see as a strength. Therefore, I prefer the following images because I feel that. . . . . . . .Lammoth has created an image which possesses a creative perspective view (looking upward) as well as excellent lighting and modeling techniques . . . . . . . yrtrouble2's image provides an atmosphere of abyssal solitude and discovery. . . .the illuminated creature serves as an effective central figure as it retreats back into the abyssal darkness . . . .madmax has presented an impressive abyssal image using a different perspective view allowing the viewer to gaze downward into the void. . . GREAT WORK EVERYONE!

Well done everybody! YRtrouble2 = 3 Pidjy = 2 ICM = 1 Regards The Bryster (Chris)

pidjy - 3 hyperborea - 2 zhann - 1 pidjy: loved the feeling of depth and murkyness. I got a sense of hugeness from this image. I've seen things like this on the discovery channel, like the giant squid, which kinda makes your jaw drop, and forces you to look on in awe. hyperborea: I like the way the arm(?) of the creature looked. it has a certain... organic feeling to it. zhann: I like abstract. for starters, its one of the things I can do in Bryce myself, without too much effort(great for getting the creative juices going). also, I like to see people think out of the box, and stretch the limits of the contest, and the program.

Alduin_dor_Lammoth 3 ICMgraphics 2 Gregsin 1 tough voting on that one, all exceptional images

Pidjy - 3 Lammoth - 2 yrtrouble2 - 1 great images ;)
