Hi, Bruce.

I had fun checking out your latest installment.  I particulary liked the action
scene of the orcs charging up the wall, and the following scene of them bursting
through the breach.

Thanks.  I'm always a little worried that crowd scenes will just look like a big
muddle.

I also liked the eerie lighting in the cave, and the use of plates for the
ceiling has a nice detailed look.

I've had the most fun with lighting effects in underground scenes (e.g. Moria).
On the ceiling, I was trying hard to not get a square boxy effect.

The water-logged rubble of Orthanc looks great, and that's a cool
obscured-by-clouds effect you have there.  But I'm a little confused by the
green blob on the right hand side of that photo.  @8^)

Ah, that does look pretty bad.  I actually had those latter scenes shot a long
time ago, and I was just starting to learn how to use photoshop.  I was trying
to fill in some green at the edge to cover up the coffee table.  I think I'm
better at cropping and filling in gaps now.

And as always, a nice job on the landscaping.

Thanks.
