Not sure how to fix that. I might change the view from the right
hand window as it was done very quickly

I'm thinking of changing it to a gradient from dark blue to black

Supposed to be the moon. Needs moving and a texture change

Since two people have mentioned that, I'll look into it.

I think there are too many lights. Each of the glowing globes is a light
source,
and there are another two behind the camera. Maybe if I tone down the light
from
each globe, remove the lights behind the camera and add one main light.

It looks like I need to fix the lighting :-( I'm also going to
need a faster computer <g>

That's supposed to be the moon.

Well I didn't base this on any graveyard scenes, more based on the ruined
temple
in swamp

Yup, well spotted

Haven't read any of his work. Where  do you see death/horror?

Not that I'm aware of.

Who?

Thanks for the analysis, was interesting.

	Or else, you might want to try fade_distance and fade_power. This is
typically the kind of situation where they'd be most usefull.

That was assuming the graveyard reference

Belgiean surrealist - example of receeding leitmotif:
http://www2.prestel.co.uk/youngjohns/delvaux/delvaux1.jpg

The reference to Delvaux is a stretch but I just thought I would mention it.
His work has some interesting attributes of dreamscapes which  your work is
suggestive of at times.  What seems to be fading btw and which struck me
about your work is the complex narrative that underlay your earlier tracings
such as your entry in the horror round.

Interesting stuff there

Most of the pics I do have a story, when I get round to
updating my web site I'll add the context to the pictures.
This particular scene is one of the few without a back story.
