Another beach scene, probably the best so far. I like beach scenes on my desktop, so don't expect this to be the last.

Not exactly the design I started out to make. However, the puzzle piece took so long, I will have to eventually make the other design to justify the time I spent trying to get the top rounded just right.

The color choice in this one gives an added bonus to LCD monitors, as it changes color when viewed from different angles.

I frame many of my images with a tree in the foreground, and since the primary use of the image is wallpaper, and majority of users icons run along the left side, I put the trees on the left.

The memory of a beautiful scene tends to exaggerate the key points, trees are taller, valleys are deeper, vistas are wider, and the moon is bigger. I used a telescopic photo of the moon to get more detail.

For those of you wondering how the waves were done, they are a large bumpy terrain, with an ocean texture applied.

I kept most of the test renders to experiment with making a slideshow of it's creation. It showed me I rendered over 90 test renders.

Not something you want to look up and see looking down at you. This would have been up yesterday, if I had come up with the name I liked sooner.

An actual 3d fractal flame, hovering over an ocean. It's actually a composite of 3 renders, one of the 3d fractal, one of an ocean at the same angle, and a 2d version of the fractal used to cast reflections in the water.

I went camping over the weekend, so this was delayed a bit. I wish I could have camped on this little island.
