Norwegian Valley

Great image, as everyone said excellent surfaces and also the sense of scale provided by the trees is very good.

This picture reminds me of going through the Alaskan fjords.  Great work.  It's beautiful.

Let me chime in with everyone else to say that this is a great image.

My only suggestion would be to adjust the sun's heading a little. The cliffs in the distance over the water would look a little more readable if there was a little more light falling across them from screen right, so the form and shape can be better understood. This would improve the contrast in that area too, making for more visual interest.

Thank you guys.

njen: I will try out your suggestions, but right now I'm rendering a new version with some different clouds.
I'l post it later today.

[sjefen]

Her is the new version with some new clouds. Hope this is a little better.

I was just wondering...... how do I use this exr. files? Which software do I open them in?

[Matt]

That's a beauty.

.EXR files can be opened in Photoshop CS, HDRShop (commercial version), and many other 2D programs. If you have a program that opens .HDR files but not .EXR files, then you may be able to find an EXR to HDR converter somewhere. There are others on this forum that know more than I about how to use EXR data for post-processing.

The new clouds are a big improvement. It really looks like a cohesive scene now. Definitely Image of the Week material. Great work!
