"It began with walk along the dock, just me and him. This was the moment I had dreamt about since I was a little girl. Just the two of us, arm in arm, looking out over the calm ocean. But it was more than your typical scene. A hazy aura had fallen over the area, and the sky seemed to swell in time with my emotion. 'Yes,' I thought as I swirled my glass in my hand. 'This is where I want to spend the rest of my days. Right here with you.' "

Ok, so stats on this? Rendered twice, because my brothers lost the save button the first time around. Time and quads down below. The title comes from a morphing of Champaign, another word for field, which is what Blaire means. I was working on the postwork for this as I talked to her, and decided that I wanted to give it to her. Something you can't put a price on. And that's true, because the way I worked, I can't make this available for print.

The original render was cropped significantly after I couldn't make the cloud formations above the sun look decent. So the disappeared. It really helped the composition, too. Postwork took forever, all in all, because of everything I tried. And there's a fair bit of water that I redid.

sxc.hu & maybe ~meta474. I worked with a fair number of planets recently, and remember saving one of his, so that may be it. Comments, crits and favs appreciated. Especially critiques. I want this to be worthy of actually being given to someone. So it may show up in your inboxes a few times.

Enjoy
Edit: Changed the forground, adding the couple described and got rid of the bridge. Thanks again to sxc.hu. And if this shows up again, Sorry: I wanted to add on that if you see the water as slightly blurred, that's from my "romantic effect" I apply. Unfortunately, I've lost my original source files.

Edit Pt. 2: Bahaha, you get to see this again I've found the original world files for this one (almost by accident) so when I turn 18 (at the time of writing, that is...6 months, 1 week, 2 days and a couple hours) this will be available for purchase This also means that I can better fix all the stupid little idiosyncratic errors in it.
