Hows this? Just a quick edit. Added grasses and the fish and little schools. Made Shark bigger and sign smaller.

Thanks. I just finished a cartoon fish to add. Just swimming in the scene...nothing special. Should I get rid of the bubbles? Get rid of the up front reef in favor of a subtle silo reef or keep it and add coral silos to the bg? Looking at it, the sign is too big comparatively.

Might add some schools of fish swimming in the bg too.

Well, I guess I got to make this one more complicated then. How..I don't know. Seeing some simple things that are line drawings with no color get through just makes me wonder. Maybe I could change it into a coloring book vector and eliminate the colors.

First time I had this happen.. but I don't do a lot of Vectors though. Just seems weird to me. Is it normal to reject the vector but then the raster is good enough?

Vector was rejected for: "Too Simple--Overly simple vector."

Pretty much Upload and see. Emailing support might not do anything since they are not the reviewers. If the reviewers give it their blessing...then it's in. If not...then it's rejected.

I still have yet to use this since nothing big or that important has come around me to try it. Maybe I need to travel or something.

Whatever you used to create the vectors should be able to make them into Jpegs. Might have to look under "export as" or something like that. Can't remember about AI (should be about the same) as I have dove into Xara more for illustrations.

I know Yuri has been uploading over at the 3D Studio. I did a few uploads about a day ago...and then I was buried behind 7 pages of his in a matter of a few minutes.

With Modern Technology... would the monkeys happen to be using Dragons "Naturally Speaking" program? If so... put them on Rosetta Stone First.

Popping in to see whats going on. Got to knock out some pics for DP so I can get my last $50. BS and 123 had me thrown for a little loop when I went to check downloads.

Getting a feel for working with flashes. Just got to develop what works for me Artistically. Never can satisfy everyone thats a Photog. Some say you need more shadow, some less shadow. Raise your Umbrella... no lower it. Love the processing, dont like it. Needs to be warmer... cooler. Screw it. If I am happy with it...and so is the subject...then it is correct..lol.

Just going to throw links in to individual pics... if you want to look at them, here they are...

I got my last 2 Speedlights in today and just got finished modding them with 3.5mm Jacks. So, now I have a 3 Speedlight system, Umbrellas, Stands and a Softbox. Now I need to learn how to do lighting. I am going to take off for a couple to a few weeks to devote to learning all I can.

In that time... it is very possible that we might be moving also. We are a high number on a waiting list. I dont know if we are going to set up for cable or what for internet so I might be gone for longer unless I pop in on a friends computer or something.

Thanks to everyone for all I have learned just by reading. I will be back...just when I don't know.
