Artist's Comments

This is not my best scenic one by far, but I have decided to stop throwing as many renders away in order to start getting some of those constructive comments again like you used to give me...

So, if you think I should be doing something to make this more appealing to the eye, you comment away..... :D (Big Grin) Like I always say, its the only way to learn.

And right you are (on description) :D (Big Grin)
Well, let's do some constructive commenting then ;) (Wink)

The scene looks really good and /me really likes, but there are two things that're bugging me. The first and most obvious is the high brightness of the waves on the water. It makes the water look flat at the tips of the waves.
Secondly, although you can see where the sun is, you can't see the sun itself. It looks a bit like the sun has blended in with the sky/clouds. May be it could be accentuated a bit more. It looks a bit strange ATM IMO.

As far as lighting, shading and atmospherics go, I think they work pretty well in this render. The clouds look very good to. :) (Smile)

Nice texture work Slow

Also, the waves are pretty calm which I like, and rough to show some water/sun reflectionized texture. the name is fitting because of the mountains in the distance. Overall I'd say it's a very good final piece. I agree the sun could be a bit more accented, but I think if there were more clouds it wouldn't seem as bad because it could be that the sun is hiding behind a smaller, thinner cloud. Another great piece.

PS. +favs
your texturework is, as always, excellent. the water transparency and look is excellent too... all in all really good. but what's bad is that you can see the clear line between the land and the water. maybe there some retouch in psp or something.

the rest is very good terragen work =]

(oh man, i hope my english is good enough - i'm not good in explain things in english ;) (Wink) )

the depth , point of view and the atmosphere is very good.
it needs more details on water. maybe it can be good to decrease direct sunlight percent.
i don't know but the waves may be the main the problem. so it can be good to try other combinations :) (Smile)
i know you have ability to do better than this :) (Smile)
I love the water on this one .. you can see through it to the land below .. but the reflection does need a bit of work :| (Blank Stare)

I like how the clouds look like they're barely holding together they're so thin ..

Very good job: :) (Smile) :) (Smile) :) (Smile) :) (Smile) :| (Blank Stare) 4/5

heh :D (Big Grin)

first off ,the sky has too much of a "grid" feel to it. the textures look good, except for the mountain thats all white, looks kinda weird. the water is ok, maybe a bit too bright.

the biggest thing bugging me is the light sand on the land near the shore. in the water, the same colors sand as on the shore is visible. but on the shore, there's this lighter sand. kinda strange :\
