Winter landscape WIP

[alessandro]

Here is a WIP of a winter landscape yet far from being completed. I'd like to add a lake close to the camera, and a vegetation made of firs and scott pines.
I'll post the updates as the work progresses.

Great Sky, dark and ominous. Nice start.

[Kadri]

Good start Alessandro.

[yossam]

Can't wait............

[choronr]

Looking good. You might want to show some closer up foreground.

[kaedorg]

Very nice dramatic sky.
Looking forward for vegetation and foreground.

[Hannes]

Reminds me of Mordor.

[Dune]

Looks like a film still, very nice. Interesting to see this develop. Bigger if possible....

[archonforest]

Looks great and dark...I love it

[mhaze]

Very dramatic sky perhaps some god rays? Some foreground would give a better sense of scale and place.

[alessandro]

It didn't turn out as I wanted (and hoped) but still, it's an experiment and so I'm sharing it. Faked god rays.

[alessandro]

In case somebody is curious, this is the version without faked godrays.

[archonforest]

This is still a "wow!" picture. I love this darkness

[yossam]

If you play with it some more you might be able to get "real" godrays, unless the clouds are an image map. Still good..............

I really like the light, but there's one thing I noticed. At first it appeared to me as a really big landscape, but the trees seem to diminish the enormous mountain range to 'hills'.
