I know lots about rendering programs so I can tell you that these programs can take a photo background and do amazing things with it, while adding 3D figures etc. Just because a small image started out from a camera and was manipulated and churned out as a part of a rendered image does not make it suitable. But of course this is my opinion. The point is, there's plenty of 3d rendering image galleries around where the image would be suitable, dare I say, right at home. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography, http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits
