The thing that really seems to strike me about this image is the green
foliage.  It's so deep!  

BTW, did you ever dream that you'd be doing images this well back when
you started?

Thanks Ron. When I bought a computer about three years ago after a break 
from them for a number of years, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do 
with it. I bought a nice digital camera and thought I would consentrate on 
that. Trouble is that there is not much here to photograph except maybe the 
beach, but there is only so many photos of beachs one can take. Then I saw 
your 3D work and I've been hooked ever since. In fact it's become somewhat 
of an obsession with me.  LOL

Yesterday I bought Windows XP Pro 64 bit in the hope that I can get just a 
bit more out of this machine. It came with Windows Vista 32 Bit and that 
operating system is VERY resourse hungry. Although I've got 4 Gigs of RAM 
Vista only sees 3 Gigs and of that Vista takes 33 to 50% of RAM for itself 
(Includes background processes).

XP will see the whole 4 Gigs of RAM and I'm hoping it won't use much of this 
for itself.

Got my fingers crossed.

I'm going to try for a duel booting system by keeping both operating systems 
and just install 'Vue' and maybe Poser on the XP partition.

I'm envious!   I';d put PSP in that lineup, too.  I can't do an image
without taking it to PSP for final work.  I do a lot of work with the
clone and smudge brush, and I'd be lost without curves and Histogram
