Last Stand

A WM terrain including The Noble One trees by Walli; Stone Bed and Hero Rocks by FrankB available at NWDA; and, the ship model and dry grasses from a friend.

The composition appears as though an entity has built a dam flooding an almost dry river bed trying to float a relic ship back to the Chesapeake Bay.

Terrific image! I like the silent grandeur of it, you can feel the drama. Are you open for suggestions? I'd give the water (front) a little wavelets, as it is very flat now, and/or some remaining foam. The ship looks very cool and well built, but needs a little texture, so it seems.

Thanks Ulco, I am always up for suggestions -after I did the first final render, I decided to add more roughness and in crease wind patch size; but, it really didn't add much for the water. Also, have a clip file for 'foam by shore' and tried to get the effect; but, after diddling with it for a long time and not getting any results, I gave up.

The ship is a model of the 'Patrick Henry' which is largely iron paddle ship. Google it and you will see it lacks texture detail. For this picture, some rust on its sides would have looked good.

Again, thanks for your comments - glad you liked the scene.
