Thread: Feb/March Lite Challenge: Oh Tarn!

I am not sure if the thumbnail tracker is working properly, since it only scanned my first image in my original post. So I will re-post my latest wip here.

Hope this works.

Looking good! The thumbnail picker just takes the first image from a tagged post, not the one after the tag.

Wow, I've gotta say that this is pretty fantastic. Elegant in it's simplicity. I really love how you can see the elevation, getting that third dimension in there is really hard!

I think that after I added the forest layer the contour of the land changed a bit, or at least the impression that it has changed occurred. I need to fix it.
