As you might be aware, the search function does not return results on search terms less than four letters.
Unfortunately, it does not give an error or advisory message when you try a 3 letter search.

If anybody is looking for the entries to this challenge, you will have to wait till a link is posted in this thread (as stated in rules).

I hope I have just uploaded an image for this contest, but I had to have several goes, and I am still not sure if it went to the right place with the right markers.....

Hello malwat!

You simply upload your entry to the gallery with UFO in the title line next to your actual title and then post the link to that image here in this thread. :)

If this thicko is getting it right, then:

TARA!

Thanks Kimberly.

PS, it took me ages to get the thumbnail and main image right, even though both seemed to be at the right size at my end. Is there an idiot's process I can follow? For example, a really small thumbnail was still too large despite really dropping the quality.

I'll cast my vote first. It was a difficult decision, but I have to go with "UFO Help by the Roadside?" by malwat. for the interesting and unique idea!

I vote for Dustriders. He has a great pose for the human and the little creature oozes cute. The setting is very fitting as well. His lighting is, as always, superb.

Malwat has a very nice concept, but I think the execution needs some work. If you are new to this stuff, please don't take my critique too harshly. You have some great elements in that picture. The framing is good, the posing is good, the choice of characters is also very good. The achilles heel for this image could be a lack of experience for the artist in setting up the shadow methods of the lights and/or the render settings. Don't be discouraged, even the great masters had to practice before they could be great!

Nugget's image is very nice, but I didn't vote for it because the setting seemed out of place for me. I think if there were some other elements to the scene that suggested a more extra-terrestrial vibe, then I may have voted for it. Even a light streaming in a window or the door, to suggest a UFO or something outside that the alien is beckoning the viewer to follow her and see, would have added that extra little dimension. As an example, think about the little boy's abduction in, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The mother (and viewers), are terrified at what is going on, but the little boy is amused and intrigued by it.

Out of curiosity, was there a WIP thread with this challenge? They are great for sharing ideas, getting or giving tips, maybe generating additional interest in the challenge, getting some constructive critiques before the entry deadline?
