Thermas Appolidonius - Egypt

[Marcos Silveira]

Appolidonius / Red Sea / Egypt
Frequented since the ptolomies, its warm waters are connected to the Red Sea by a little channel.

I have to thank wetbanana for his awesome voronoi clip file which was used in the terrain!!!!

Totally love the underwater rocks

Nice render!

The contrast is a little low and the image looks a little too bright to me Ro-nin.

Yeah, the water and underwater rocks look really good, I also agree with Kadri. But I think this is a very good start, keep working on it!

I think it's a very "natural" look, while most photography is fairly post processed to be more contrasty ("punchy" they call it). I think just reducing the noise (increasing detail/quality settings) would give you a nice finished result, maybe not "striking", but pleasantly natural to my eye.

Absolutely agree with you Oshyan

[Kadri]

No! I still think that it needs a little adjustment. But it is his image of course

I tend to don't make any adjustment out of TG. When I don't like the final look of an image I tweek the settings a little and render again!! The image was rendered with just 0.6 in render quality. I'l try to render it at 1.0 to see what happens.
Also the sun was put at 45 degrees, what makes the overall a little too bright but it seems more natural to me (brazilian eyes here ).
