Dave, I cannot tell you why, but the first impression I got when I viewed this was musical. Trumpets and trombones. Maybe other instruments too. It is, afterall, an abstract! Give me some time and I will see the rainy day too :)
Take all the time you need John. I can wait. LOL :D
Judging by the photographic talent, etc. around here, I'm pretty sure I won't win. Well, maybe if I'm the only entry. :O
Seriously though, I can understand you seeing trumpets, etc in it. I actually tried to get rid of those little "doolie-wobbers" that give it that trumpet look. I need to get a bit better & more familiar with the JWildfire software, and I could probably do it.
This is wonderful Dave!! Very unique and original in design and layout!! Great 3D effect with a jubilant feel to it!! Bravo on another winner. Keep 'em coming:)
Not exactly rainy, rather hail I see here and big one for that matter too :) !! :) Love the shiny texture and OK you may enter the contest. SAM & SAAB SOS approval stamp:)
Well, so far you're the only entry, Dave, so your chances are looking pretty good, lol...seriously though, I think this is a great entry and I for one can see the downpour and big fat rain drops...I wish you best of luck...another beautiful render.
