That will be changed on the /new/ site (very soon I hope...)

LOL!
Many thanks, Sean.

Wonderful (as usual) - and I've to ask pardon for mentioning a certain
"emptiness" in the upper and right parts of the image...

By the way - nice mushroom and use of snow.

I agree. Should be in HOF. Does no one update that anymore? The lastest image is
from the last decade (2009). What's the hold up?

Hi Thomas,

pretty good considering how difficult they are to spot, the last one is
incorrect though. However, I re-ran a render without grass/water etc and even
then it was tricky to spot the last 2 so I doubled them in size and you can spot
them on this. Still the one on the far right I cannot see on the picture even
knowing where it is (that would be the real wally then ;-)

No pardon required, that is certainly something that needs improving when I come
back to this scene in the future.

The mushroom and snow did not make the final cut for this scene but I left them
in the source. The snow really needs SSLT (I would only set it to about 2 on the
settings at the top of the file) with sslt it looks pretty good but that was for
an earlier version, I was planning on making the creature in the tree a sort of
jack frost character and therefore having snow around his home etc. but decided
against it and went for a less seasonal theme. I still might do a snow version
though (maybe something to leave rendering over the christmas holiday if it uses
SSLT!).

I also really wanted to have a different variety of plants around the border of
the pond so that is also on the to do list for later versions.

Thanks

Sean

This has been commented on before, it is a shame (not just for me ;-) there are
plenty of images that have been placed on the forum since 2009 that would merit
a place in the HOF. It would be great if it could be resurected.

I missed the one to the right indeed, and one over the water in the 
middle distance then.

I remember becoming a mail about 10 years before from our Chief Diplomacy

HoF and I had to deliver admission, comments and bigger versions within (felt) 3
days, otherwise... ;-)

All joking aside - of course there should be an update and I have some
suggestions...
