    All the elements in the universe were formed during or shortly after the big bang. Elements bonded with other elements to make molecules, molecules string together and somewhere down the line, the end product is life.

    @theSavage, I like the use of depth of field in your image, and the fire is ever so well done.

    @Dave - great idea, nicely done.

    @Dave: That image actually looks like you used real molecule model parts, photographed them, then photo shopped the image. It has that kind of feel to it. Beautiful work.

    Beautiful, inspiring entries from everyone.

    These are Wips, experimenting with lighting Eventually I settled on these two but I don’t know which to enter both look the same. The first is Premium render Soft shadows and TA 16Rpp and the second with the same settings but with Boost Light enabled. The render time for both were almost the same 4 ½ hours.

    @mermaid010 - both are beautiful. I like the clouds more on the first one because they are more dramatic but the vegetation looks a tad better lit on the second. So it's no easy choice.

    @mtnmen : A very realistic image
    and thanks for your comment.

    @TheSavage64 : Big Bang : original idea

    @mermaid: I'd be hard pressed to chose one of those images over the other, both are really nice.

    @mtnmen: That's a spot on image, nice work.

    Thanks Horo, Mtnmen, Adbc and Guss; I am re-rendering the 1st render using a low diffuse radial light, with only the foreground trees included in the influence.

    Mtnmen – great render – It’s Elementary :-)

    My first entry.

    I used one of David’s cloudscape from the Cloudscapes 5 for this render. The dolphins are a freebie either from 3D Bar or Archive3D, the trees are from xFrog

    Enjoying the Elements.

    I've been playing with this image for several weeks since I first submitted it; I was dissatisfied with both the fog and the foreground colors. Furthermore, I realised that I needed to make the image larger if I wanted some details to show up. When you do fog at night you find yourself trying to balance atmospherics versus detail!

    So: this image replaces my original submission.

    Junk model by Redfox1980 via Turbosquid, tweaked by me
    main tree by xtree, tweaked by me
    bamboo plants from Bamboo Megapack by -esha- via Daz
    sky by Horo/David from HDRi skies
    All other content by Bryce or created from Bryce content by me.

    Post-processing: bumped levels in Photoshop to lower the key.

    @asterlil: Touch-ups really made that look nicer.

    Very nice. Looks a bit like the inside of the cable junction box at the end of our street :-)
