Ah, updates is coming soon. As a matter of fact, it's the final render coming soon. I'm waiting for the high res version to finish rendering so I can scale it down to upload here, and have the high res to send to ashras because we are getting closer to the deadline. Watch this space.

Ok, so here she is, my final render. I realise that there is another week added to the deadline but unfortunately I cannot continue.

It is with great sadness that I have to leave this wonderful country, Ireland, and return to South Africa. I have no idea when I will have internet access again so I hope to one day return again to this wonderful forum. I have so many things to organise and will be leaving at most in 2 month's time. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you guys that gave me your valuable input. It is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank ashras99 for creating this wonderful community.

See you guys on the flip side. Peace out.

Your absence will leave a void that will be difficult to fill in this community. Best on luck on your return to South Africa, and hope to see you back soon!

Thanks a million guys. it seems like I will have to stop in Mozambique first until about February or March of next year before I can go back to SA and I know for a fact there is not much you can cll internet there so I will not be able to get online.

But, I definitely will be back online ASAP. Good luck to everybody else for the final week and voting. I will pop in when I can up until I'm leaving. The current date for flying out is 14th of September.

amazing render FMaree. I love it.

Although it would have looked very real if you had not applied the glow around the candle flames.

Anyways, Overall the image looks dazzling!!!

All the best to you.
