Every month the quality of the entries get better! I will probably never win one of these things, but good work everyone! You are all too good...Maybe SVS should just start publishing books. Here is my losing submission

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you Melissa I love the color palette of your work, the perspective and how you frame it with leaves. The acorn bomb is really genius!

@Kim-Rosenlof Love this! Really made me laugh - especially the little mouse.

Frogpunzel · 1 Jun 2021, 21:37

@Coreyartus I think this is my favorite. I love the colors and the feeling that is portrayed by the wolf being integrated into the trees!

ruth · 1 Jun 2021, 21:38

@Melissa-Bailey-0 Thank you! I wanted to give myself a challenge this month. Love your chosen POV too! And your colours are awesome. Beautiful work.

@ruth Thank you! I LOVE the perspective on yours. And the lighting is great too! Fun idea.

lizardillo · 3 Jun 2021, 17:54

@Melissa-Bailey-0 thank you. I enjoyed making this but I still have a lot to learn regarding full scenes. I love yours too.

lizardillo · 3 Jun 2021, 17:56

@ruth love the point of view and drama of this

Melissa_Bailey · 3 Jun 2021, 22:29

@lizardillo thanks so much! You did such a great job composing this scene -- can't wait to see where you go from here, if you're just getting started with full scenes!

ruth · 5 Jun 2021, 05:40

Thank you @lizardillo ! I'm so glad it comes across - it took me a long time to get to a point where I was happy with it! It was quite a learning curve for me Loving your bee in his 'sticky' situation. I can almost hear the buzz of those hornets!

It’s always a blast to see who made the sweet 16 cut, and to watch the battles!

Matthew Oberdier · 10 Jun 2021, 21:30

Congrats to the winners. That was cool. I wish they would have critiqued mine so I would know how to improve it.
