Seconded! ._.

These are both for the original grass scene.
Remove the "+z" from the grass pigment. The resulting color is a little
strong, but i think the hue is closer to most grasses.
Replace the background <.7,.8,.9> with <6,7,8>/9 to save one byte. The
color is *slightly* darker, but the difference is barely noticeable.

Wow that's *exactly* what I changed before developing my newer versions of
the grassy scene! You must be psychic!
The +z was an attempt to get a difference in hue between the lit and shadow
areas, but to be honest it doesn't really look bad without it and it saved
valuable characters.

How acceptable is it to get help to reduce the scene from other
people? Isn't this a competition for individuals?

Well it's no different from people asking for artistic suggestions for their
IRTC entries isn't it?
I did this last time there was an SCC and nobody complained.

At the same time, he is also *giving* help to the other people, since he
is sharing his (powerfull) tricks and techniques. The net result will be
better pictures by everyone.

The dawn scene is just cool. This is going to be a much more interesting
short code round. I think you just set the bar, Tek :)

I agree with everyone else, the top one is by far the best. And the mountain
range in the first two images is really good. These are amazing for < 256
bytes, I have tried a few experiments myself but so far have come up with
nothing that could compete with these.
Great work.

The net result is certainly not balanced. He is getting *concrete*
help to reduce his scene. Others are only getting potential help, in
the very unlikely case that they will be using a similar feature in
their scenes.

Really? What help have I got exactly? The only suggestions made to reduce
the scene were made after I'd already figured the same thing out myself.
On the other hand if someone wants to nick my source code and change the
colour of things they'll have a great image without needing any talent!
Okay I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
