Not one of my better ones, but it was an idea that was just going to stick in my head until I got it out.
I was about to throw ghastlycomic's Meaty Meaty Meat Pie at somebody... but this is much better.
Technical:
Link #2 is rather odd - http:httphttp isn't a live site - but I knew enough to be able to find the ShareCG link in the string.
Link #5 redirects to http://littledragon.francemi.net/misc_01.htm (and the freebie's at the top of that page). Not an issue, but the direct link doesn't require registration.
You've definitely got the "plants" part of the "plants and flowers" requirement covered... I'll let our host decide whether that's enough.
Composition and Artistic:
Who am I kidding here - I have nothing to teach you... :)
That's beautiful and eerie, Lord Ganthor. Love it.
Actually excellent and terrible...at the same time! :D It can't be too bad, the pumpkins still grew!

You haven't seen what's inside the pumpkins. Don't go to sleep...

Yeah, don't make pies out of these. Sorry 'bout the bad links. They've been corrected in my original post. Too many cuts and pastes will screw those things up. Note to self: check all your links before posting...
Superb! I am sure your links are fine. I think Dolly will accept this...we will see.
:-)
Nope still no joy. The link at Rendo sends you to a dead link at ShareCG and I went over there and looked for hoover and step and came up with nothing. So sad.I just got word back from the vendor who made the 12-Step Stairs. He's uploaded the stairs directly to Renderosity now, and the download link does work now.
LG sorry for taking so long. I have two projects I have been working on and I let them come before my duties here. Baby birds need to eat quite a few times a day and I just love messing with the baby to get it to exercise. That is my excuse and I am sticking to it. The other project will be paraded a little later on this thread.
So "not" one of your better ones? Oh my gosh. I think this render is great. lighting is fantastic. You've got plants. I am assuming that she is the flower from this Terrible Garden". A lovely creation.
ENTRY IS ACCEPTED. but you don't get the necklace I am afraid.
I got my stone stairs! Thanks bunches, Tramp.
Here is my entry. It is based upon a snapshot of the St. Petersburg Garden. I will let the judges decide if I qualify or not and I want a critique please. I love plants and flowers and I have been wanting to do this type of render for a long time. So I was not going to miss out on something I think would be fun to render.

Thanks guys for taking the time to work on this entry. Don't worry if you decide not to accept the entry but do worry if I don't get my critique. (Insert mean face here)! I always want feedback.
This is excellent! From the roses that lead the eye in, to the shadows from the canopy of trees, to the fountain in the back. It could be a postcard. Come visit St. Petersburg Garden, for a breath of fresh air!
Well done!
Dana

Thanks Dana!
So wonderful! The view captures the artistic symmetry of the walkway and the natural beauty of the foliage and the light. It's all just arranged so well, and the poses are lovely. Another place I want to walk right into. And the roses, mmmmmm.
Allow me to critique the mother of baby birds ...
TECHNICAL
Buncha trees. Done.
ARTISTIC
1. It's impossibly far-fetched that St Petersburg, Russia, would have statues of Greek gods lining the path when everybody knows there's nothing but statues of Lenin there.
2. Unless these are supposed to be statues of St Peter, in which case, never mind.
3. You need a babushka sitting on the bench at the left, maybe eating some borscht.
4. You forgot to texture the snakes climbing up the trees on the left and right.
5. Can't read the signature, so that doesn't count.
6. Those roses are WAY too orange.
7. Unless they're supposed to be oranges, in which case, never mind.
8. No cigarette butts on the path, and this is supposed to be Russia???
9. Unless of course it's supposed to be St Petersburg, Florida, in which case there should be even MORE cigarette butts.
I like this! Not your typical garden, but I would love to walk through it!!
Oh...well, I got the necklace anyway...from my first render. I pawned it, remember?

Thank you Cuisle.
LOL Good thing you posted after my morning coffee. Although that would be a great way to get a new keyboard now that I think about it.
You my friend must have been raised up being told the Bolsheviks not only wiped out the royal family but also all of the royal treasures as well. That Russians are all scary big women with hairy legs and hard drinking, chain smoking men. Now that might be an interesting contest.
It really does exist and there really are orange roses. You are right about the snakes they should be gold but not this time, to lazy.
Thanks Dorsey. I appreciate your endeavors. Now run along and make another garden!
Since none of the other judges have said it : The links check out, and I don't mind if you enter your own challenge. (When I host, my images are all NAEs, but that's a personal preference.)
As for the composition, I'm reminded of a photo I took a few years ago when I had a day off mid-week and nobody else was visiting the park... so the lack of something in the far distance isn't a big deal to me.

Yes I remember. I remember the girlfriend having a certain look in her eye,too. How did everything go for Da Real Man after that picture was made?

Thank you Rob. That is a very pretty picture of a garden. Ever think about trying to render it?
I thought this was a photograph when I first saw it. How did you get those shadows to co-operate that way? Real nice render DG.
:-)

I don't have enough different types of roses in my runtime...

Although higher distant elevation is interesting in an image, I, too, have seen this type of horizon. In fact, right here in the city where I live it's kind of flat. I used to work here years ago, and a girl was giving me directions and mentioned a hill. I said to her, "You don't have hills in Taunton!" The first time she visited Fall River, she saw hills. The "hill" she referred to was a slight grade. :D
Dana
Thanks Music.
Well I used glaseye's set as listed above. It works for both DAZ Studio 3 and 4.x. I dropped the intensity of the Uber light, Mix1-Sunshine1, to 41%. Changed the Sun distant light color to 255 254 215 and kept it at 60%. I rotated the Sun and Specular lights to -35, 37 and 2.5 (x, y, and z respectively).
There is a huge tree set behind the camera that gives shade to the front of the picture, over the roses and Hippocrates. I also put two trees nestled among the treetops of the trees lining the walkway to help keep the canopy over the walkway completely covered but to still allow some sunlight to pass through.
Poses for Genesis just came from the default set you get with DAZ Studio. I just tweaked the man and boy's arms so that they would sort of match up to make you think they are holding hands and I also changed the position of the man's right arm to make it look like he is having a conversation with the little boy.
Haven't yet started to work on LG's suggestions. I want to finish another render and then I will get back to this one.
Mercy Glade Revisited
Now with clumping! More instanced daffodils and amaryllis to form clusters, and a few more little flowers dotted through the grass. Also lighting adjustments (sunlight up, uberenvironment down, spotlights added for a bit of dappling on the elk and a bit more emphasis on the fountain). And the brightness turned down in the background plane's diffuse and ambient channels, for a stormier sky in contrast to the sunlight.
Thanks so much, Dollygirl and music, for your suggestions

Well done Cuisle. You have brought interest into your image and you signed it. Very nice. I hope you like it better this way as well.
ENTRY IS ACCEPTED.
I do. Thank you!
Very well done! It now looks like sunshine coming in between clouds as the clouds are building. Soon it will be all gray...and wet.
