another thing I noticed on my first image are the feathers on the front kiwi, right side where it goes to meet the right leg. If anyone is interested I just use a soft clone brush on low opacity in Photoshop to blend it in better, the result Foraging

I love that render sir. I've always liked your artwork, but this one, IMHO, is the best so far. :D

I've got to ask, when it says the contest ends on Monday, June 20, does that mean that we have 32 hours left, or 56? Just curious... (and wondering how to get my machine to pick up the pace;)).

When I submitted an image earlier (when it was still the 18th), the submit page gave 2 days and XX hours remained. I forget how many hours it was.

At the moment (1:42 (Eastern) on the 19th), it just says 2 days, with no hours indicated. So, it looks like it would be midnight, June 20th, Mountain time?

I would think that's a safe bet Satira. I usually assume 11:59pm in the time zone of the site hosting.

You're safe VB. It closes "Monday, June 20, 2016". :)

Of course, that's tomorrow here in the U.S. Downunder it's already June 20th. ;)

Question: How does the status on the submissions work? I submitted mine a while ago and my status hasn't changed from "Received" to either "Accepted" or "Rejected". How long does that process usually take? Should we even expect that to happen before the contest is over?

Well I missed it this year as I've just been too busy. I'm really looking forward to having time to check out the renders.

I'm confused about when the deadline is. The rules say midnight GMT but the count-down timer looks more like midnight EDT. I left mine rendering. Hopefully I'll have enough time to post it when I get home tonight.

Phew. Just got mine in. Well, to be fair, I've sort of had it done for a while. But I keep going back and twerking little things. It was time to finally call it down.

Which is why it's very good that I didn't look at the other ones until now, because then I'd never have been satisfied. Lovely work everyone.
