Well, I started to model a steam engine and then thought that *everyone*
would be entering something similar. so i thought about stone circles. These
circles and the methods used to construct them must have been one of the
most advanced technologies in their time.

Well spotted, its a brown trout if you're interested.

Wll do, at the moment though, larger resolutions show the lack of detail in
the background... :(

Yeah, I've been looking at that, but I'm stilling playing with colours.

"vanishing point" apparently, but I agree it's a very cool word.

Hmmm... IMHO, this represents a definite improvement! Don't know if it's
just the balance of the image or what... but I prefer this new one. Only
thing I can add is what others have already said - either the sky is too
dark or the water is too bright, it looks kinda strange. (Although, I have
actually seen real scenes where the sky is almost jet-black, but the ground
around me is brightly lit. Always feels very apocolyptic - if that's
actually a word!)

Definitely a cool concept - keep at it!
Andrew.
