The only issue I see is that it's not really about a road, and the contest is specifically a Road Contest. There's a gravely area, but I should change the POV to make it more as the centerpiece and work it out to be a proper road, be it a gravel road. That would be my advice.

The road can either be main subject of the image or a supportive element of the image subject.

Still, if there's a jury or poll, a clearly visible road may have more chance. That would be a large part of my criteria if I were to judge.

Thanks for the input guys... The theme is 'roadside' so I will keep that in the forefront of my mind( and image ) !

The beetle needs some axles.From this point of view there's really something
missing down there. ;)
Keep going J,J.

thanks Danny and J, concocting ideas as I type... onwards and upwards!
a new pov may solve the missing metalwork... maybe a new car... not sure yet...
cheers

ok, so I have been tinkering a little - I found this place, I quite liked it so, I tinkered some more.... there are some things that are wrong, these can be fixed easily enough I hope.... what do you think?
cheers

edit: btw, very minor pw=saturation and exposure...etc...

Tangled-Universe

Yeah looking good. The breakup of the road is very very nice!
The stones/pebbles could be a bit smaller and use a bit more detailing, perhaps.

What else are you planning?

Cheers,
Martin

Looking good Jason. Maybe a beam of sunlight shining down on the road would be effective as well.

Thanks Martin and Bob, the on the 'things to do' list include - fixing the fake stones-scale/textures etc...
Removing the stray daisies from the ruts - fix the tree placement -maybe remove or replace it- not sure yet? - increase exposure/GI settings, maybe some random weeds, a fence and gate before the field/ditch.... It has been said that TG tinkering never ends...how true indeed... More updates to come soon....
Cheers
Jason :)

Hi folks!
Here is the latest iteration:
Very minor pw =  saturation/contrast/jpegging...
Still some tweaking to do...
What do you think so far?
Cheers

inkydigit

your last render looks great, :) though the only problem i have with it is the pov, its low enough to ground where you can easily pick out the fake stones

though the road does look pretty good already.
WARNING! WIZARDS! DO NOT PREDICT THE BEHAVIOR OF OTTERS UNLESS YOU OBEY BIG HAPPY TOES.
