    You need to attach the image to the post, using the Attach a file link below the text box, or if it is at a suitable gallery post a link. I think you may be trying to embed the file, which won't work.

    Title:  Welsh Waterfall 
    (Based on the real Four  Waterfalls walk in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, miid-Wales)  

    Artist: SileneUK

    Lots of info about the 4 Waterfalls in there if interested, and info about the Welsh national costume. And a poem from a Welsh author about wateralls.

    Credits: TangoAlpha: The Watering Hole and I got the original waterfall to load vs using a lesser model.  Daffodils (Welsh national flower) are from his Country Ford as are the trout near the waterfall rainbow | Howie Farkes Stoney creek had the best stone for a seat (use his elements a lot) | Plain old Realistic Sky plus a few spots and bulbs | Welsh girl is Genesis 2 (debloated thanks to Alvin Bemar's Genesis Morphs Eraser for Carrara) with G2F Victorian Maid outfit retextured and her hat is restyled Wilmap's Pilgrim costume hat for G2M | Made her lace bonnet from a bowl shape | DAZ's Marielle Hair | the original Pembrokeshire Corgi fr CGT was replaced with DAZ's Pudgy The Corgi (how cool was that it came out just recently) | Trug for Daffs is from DAZ's The Marrakesh Souk and the basket of herbs is from DAZ's Medieval Merchants House Bundle with 2D leeks superimposed (leeks are a Welsh thingy, too). Wild Animals -  DAZ's AM Fox | DAZ's Rabbit | DAZ's Buck (which I transed to a doe) | DAZ's Noggins Ducks | Kingfisher from CGT | English Robin 2D superimposed | Double rainbow shapes -  I actually made myself vs keeping the PS job! 

    Additional Notes:  Sending my deepest condolences to Pam's family. She lived only about an hour from me that I can figure, so I am sure she knew of the falls and perhaps had visited. The walks are challenging, but I am determined to make at least one of them some day. My only regret was not in getting to know her, but I enjoyed her presence here immensely. Chohole will not be forgotten here! May she be looking upon us from Annwfn (ah-noon), her own mystical heavenly island.

    Click on image for full size as the preview had to be manually reduced to get rid of distortion. The auto-resizing was going wrong for me, so I chose 1/3 lower dimensions which makes it hard to see details

    Additional Notes: 

    M4 and some daz wings.

    Replicated stars on hidden cone shapes to get that starry effect. Lots of light from caustics which is why t he tope hand  is so blown out. I used a normal pass bought into affinity photo and relit the scene with the pass.

    AdditionalNotes:  I hope this is translated correctly.  Croeso i Annwfn is how the internet translated 'welcome to heaven' in Welsh.  The flag of Wales has a red dragon on a white and green field.  Everything modeled and rigged in Carrara with Carrara text modeler with fancy font (Blackadder ITC).  No postwork.

    Title: Waiting

    Artist: Namtar3D

    WIP Links: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6938931/#Comment_6938931

    Additional Notes: Any tips you'd like to share on how you made your image? i don't know if there's something i actually can tell than everybody doesn't already know.  I did my render using 3 replicators: 2 surface replicators (texture guided) and 1 last replicator for petals, then i used flow force and simulate to make the effect of the wind. 

    The model used is G8F and the character is Evenstar from Sangriart

    Wow, all these beautiful renders. I think Pam would hae been stoked with these, espcailly the ones that evoke Wales so magically.

    Thank you to all that entered an image in the challenge, and to all who were kind enough to comment on the works.

    The challenge is now closed.

    For this challenge I decided not to ask Daz to sponsor us. I didn't think it was appropriate as the challenge was in Chohole's memory.

    I hope no one is put off by this.

    Entry:  #14, Title: Waiting, Artist: Namtar3D

         Beautiful composition, color, and mood.  

    Entry # 10, Title:  Welsh Waterfall (Based on the real Four  Waterfalls walk in the heart of the Brecon Beacons, miid-Wales), Artist: SileneUK

         Wonderfully detailed.  Please click to see full size image and notice wonders like the rainbow and fish at base of waterfall.  Love that this is based on real landscape. 

    Entry:  #5, Title: Coblynau, Artist: Stezza

         Pure Stezza, with creative modeling and a ton of little details paying tribute - like the avatar animated club.  

    Entry:  # 1, Title: Heavenly Blossoms, Artist: Bunyip02

         Appreciated the homage to Bryce and the incorporaton of the Bryce terrain.

     

    I could easily have voted for 4 other images.  Wonderful job, everyone, including the WIPs that did not get entered.  

    Blessings to Pam's Daz3D community, family, and friends. Pam, you are missed.  Kudos to Headwax for choosing the theme; participating was comforting for me.
