Wow. I feel like the image is a bit "rough", like a very sharp pixel filter was used, or post sharpening, and the sense of scale and distance seems off. BUT it is a beautiful and evocative scene nonetheless, and I particularly like the rock shapes and texture, as well as the surf. The entire foreground, particularly the peninsula on the right, is excellent.

Mick, this is very pleasing. The work on the water is excellent as is the colors and textures on the rock faces. I like this ration format as well.

Hmm... interesting, scales are measurably correct!  I think that it's possible that reducing atmospheric haze may have something to do with that.  I wanted that clarity that comes after showers on as cold front.  But I see what you mean about the roughness.  I guess I'm used to Wales and Scotland's west coast where this would be normal. There's also a lot of detail that adds to the noise. I also think the .jpg compression didn't help I'll look into that. I'll also look into pixel filters

Great render and the view is spectacular :D

Looks very good Mick and I agree with Oshyan on pretty much all aspects.
I don't have much to add, other than I have different ideas about a Fjord may be?

Looking forward to your next iteration :)

Cheers,

Your're probably thinking more of the Norwegian ones!  These are based on images of N. western America/Canada where I was surprised to read that this sort of landscape is also called fjords.

I'm trying one with smaller birds and a softer pixel filter we shall see....

Yes that's exactly why I said that I have different ideas instead of boldly stating "it doesn't look like a Fjord" :)
I guess Fjords can be created by different processes or that these types of Fjords are much older than the Norwegian ones?
Just thinking out loud, honestly have no idea.

Interesting just looked at it on another monitor and it looks far worse :(

The water nodes.

Love the 'wildness' of the image, the choppy sea and the rugged coastlines all add up to a visual delight. The water nodes look daunting, but that's the lure and the challenge of TG I guess. Thanks for posting the jpg. Looks like it's time to sacrifice more brain cells in the pursuit of blue node madness, maybe  :-\. This is definitely inspirational, thanks Mick.

I agree with Oshyan too here. I have seen similar effect in lots of images. If you are going to do the hard work of isolating it, then there should be a do's and DONT do list in a sticky, so that everyone can avoid the problem.

Probably there should be a name  for this visual effect too. Something singular and specific, is there one?.. Other than just too sharp or whatever?

Anyway, I do like the image as well. Like the subject composition and detail. And each part of it could be its own image POF.


HMMMM...
Now that I posted and looked again, the thumb looks really nice... Maybe render 2*Large, and then scale it down by half in post?.. Tighten up those pixels? works well with photoshop paintings.
It has been eaten.

Thanks for the comments.  I'm going to render it with a soft pixel filter And another twice as large!
