This was going to be my entry, but it didn’t finish rendering in time. :frowning:

I must say that Helge has been outstanding these last couple months in the way of creativity. Some of the most creatives works I’ve seen in the WEC’s.

Great job.

Although up until now I was never a big fan of RobertT’s typical style, I don’t know what happened, but I start to really like it. Maybe its this weeks entry that taught me to see the beauty. I really love that one, Robert!

Ryeath: I agree! I would also add that all the repeat participants are getting better all the time, and that inspires me to want to improve on my own ideas, approaches, and results.

PuaGo: Thanks! I appreciate your honesty and kind words. I try not to stay with one particular style for too long, and it is a hope that one or more of my images can connect eventually with a viewer. The Weekend Challenge is a great place to try out new ideas!

Black Smoker: Hydrothermal Marshmallows

@Ryeath:
Thanks for your kind words :slight_smile: I thinks its part of the fun, not to approach the themes too literally.

@RobertT:
You’re absolutely right. The Weekend Challenge is great for experimenting. It helped me a lot (and still does) when I started moving over to Blender.

@All:
Thanks for all the votes :slight_smile: And great entries everyone!

@rarebit:
I just tried to send you an PM. All I got was this error message:
“rarebit has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.”

So, I’ll put the next theme right here:
I guess “Too Much” might be funny. So, I’ll go with that.

in reality you cant see the fire nor the smoke untill impact. the flame will almost get blown out, the arrow travels too fast for it to leave a smoketrail.

@finalbarrage. In the wide world of art, things do not always need to be realistic :wink:
