      Hi Spectrefiend, Your park is awesome! The landscaping is really AMAZING! This park is a nature lover's dream! Love the mountainous area, the eating area, the iron arch, the different stairways and the pond area! Brilliant! It is a pity that it is not in the exchange! I cannot recommend.

      Brilliant work, super landscaping! :D I LOVE the use of you terrain paint and I can see this too along time to put together with all the landscaping and planting.
      My only crit would be the straight cliff faces look a bit harsh where it stretches the rock pattern, perhaps they could have been slightly softer and some rocks embedded into them.. BUT seriously I love this.

      Please post more view pics on the thread as you simply cant appreciate the amount of work in this lot from those 3 alone and many people won't go through the slideshow. :wink:

      Wonderful, also wish I could rec it! :mrgreen:

      In fact I should be able to pop some on for you in this post, hope you don't mind!

      AMAZING job on this one, it looks so natural and real! Love how you have used the terrain paint, and all the bushes makes it look just like a natural park! Would have rec'd it if I could, no doubt!

      Thank you all very much for the nice words, I definately appreciate the fact you noticed the details I have tried to add. I have never been able to upload anything to the exchange bar one lot, even though I dont think any/most of my lots would become "Featured" it would be nice though to have it as an option :?

      Garbuckle: Thank you sir, I try my best :)

      Yanti: Such kind words, especially coming from you guys.. makes me extremely happy heh, thank you. Btw, I honestly did love your Park entry it was also what alerted me to the fact there was such a competition.

      Allium: Thank you very much! Really glad people enjoy the effort I put into it. I infact only had 4 days to complete this so I could enter the Competition so there are some things I wouldve liked to fine tune, 1 being the cliff faces. Going through and adding more of my pics... I don't mind one bit, but I can't believe you'd go through the effort for someone else, that's extremely nice of you, thanks again BTW I am sorry I am no photographer :oops:

      Linday: Thank alot! I had a feeling most people for the Challenge would infact go with a more "Fancy/Upmarket or Botanical Gardens" look/feel for their builds. I have spent a very long time here in Australia walking, playing and eventually working in our Parks so.. it felt more "at home" to me, I'm very happy to hear people enjoy the Natural style

      PS: Sorry to get a little carried away with some responses hehe.

      Spectrefiend. Love your park! Agree with a couple other observers, it looks very realistic with the landscaping and terrain paints. Have seen many camping areas out here in the western U.S. that look very similar to your work here. Great attention to detail! I would sooo camp here. Off to recommend!

      Edit: Oops I forgot I can't rec. Consider it rec'd good sir!

      I loved your entry for Fid's challenge and now I can finally tell you how beautiful I thought it was since the judging is over! You really did such an outstanding job on it. As I was walking through the tour, it really felt like this was a real place. All of the areas that you created...everything came out so well! You really are highly talented! It is nice to see such beautiful parks created! I hope we see more entries from you for Fid's upcoming challenges! :D
