I was born and raised in California a l-o-n-g time ago. I’ve always liked to travel, and lived in the Panama Canal Zone for 10 years. It was heaven on earth! I'm now semi-retired from the US government and live in FloridaI’ve used personal computers for the last 12 years, and dappled in PhotoShop, Bryce, Flash, animation, web design, photography, Vue and Poser 7. Now I mostly use DAZ/studio and PhotoShop. Working with 3D art has opened a whole new world and it's so addictive.I'm a strong supporter of the environment, wildlife, quality life for farm animals, and organizations that try to make life better for the suffering and injured animals of this world. OK, so I'm not too fond of bugs, while I don’t go out of my way to hurt them, they are not allowed to live in my house!  Also love reptiles from frogs to dinosaurs!My art includes a lot of dragons and my website Dragon Mischief features some of them. I also have a shop at Cafepress where I sell my art.I’m recently adopted a senior a Rat Terrier, named Mitzi.  She loves to sleep in her bed while I play on the on the computer.  I recently purchased my dream digital camera, Canon EOS 60D DSLR (2011) and will try and share some photos too.Patrish Dehler

I saw this in the Broken thread on DAZ and I LOVE it. It is so neat. As far as lighting I would suggest a lot more lights at low intensities or dark colors as to not make it too bright. Make them distant lights, all with shadows on, and one pointing in each direction (north, south, east, and west) and maybe even a few extras after that too. The Light Dome Pro package is perfect for lighting but a bit pricey (worth every penny though). Hope that helps.

I think the lighting is excellent as it is... you focused on the important bits - the lovely fresh faces smiling into a new world. A really nice picture!

This is very cute and very well composed. Splendid work!!!

Great idea and composition...as for your lighting question : The sun is going down on the right side in the back..it would be good to have some bright highlight coming from that direction, to give it this afternoon glow. With the lighting as it is now the viewers eye is focussing on the second egg not the one in front..you might wanna change this and highlite the egg in the front to become the main focus..just some ideas from my experiences with images and their impression !
