Hi Folks,
	A little Tran-esque Beginnings post. Not up to his standard of course,
but I hope you enjoy.

	"It was lonely now. All his proud siblings, the great trees, had given
up and been devoured. Even his cousins the, grasses and ferns which used
to live in the shade of his mighty branches, had succumbed one by one.
All that was left were algae and lichens on the bare rock. And they did
not make good conversation.
	"And now it seemed it was his turn. The sunlight which had been so
bright and nourishing but moments before had grown wan and dim. A
darkness had descended over him, sapping his strength, making his
branches weep under it's weight, pressing him almost to breaking point.
	"But wait! Was that a breeze he felt? Possibly a lessening of the great
strain, a brightening ..."

all alone in a dark and rotten world...

yes... I like this, even if I think the dust around the tree is just a bit to
thick..  (and the ground to regular.)

Great sky. The enshrouding haze about the tree appears as smoke to me.
Like it's burning, yet not.What seems most out of place is the lack of
sunlight beyond the tree at least. I suggest you try a negative color
spotlight focused on the tree and allow for a better sunny day appearence
elsewhere. The scene is very contradictory anyway as is with the nice sky
and concentrated bad spot at the tree even though the rest of the area
matches the area at the tree besides. I know, then why wouldn't vegatation
be flourishing beyond? Not my scene to render, just commenting.

I like it a lot. The others seem confused as to what the haze around the tree is. I
thought that it was a wall of rain. You know like those you sometimes see
descending from storm clouds. Is that what this is?
