Mountain Lake Storm Arriving (Final)

Looking great so far!  I'm glad you removed those flowers. 

[Inscrutable]

Wow. Just wow.

This is the sort of image that makes me want to cry at my own inadaquacy with TG2!  That or it inspires me to keep tying - I haven't quite figured out where I sit on that particular fence yet...

In any case, the pic is just jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Looking good!  The foreground is especially realistic now.

Great improvement in the foreground    Any way to make those reeds lighter? Maybe they just need some translucency?
Awesome work so far... definate contender for IOTW!  

[Phylloxera]

Still better! This rock really is very successful!

[Seth]

very good render
i prefer it without the flowers too ^^

[cyphyr]

Looking really good, great progress. I agree with the others about the Dark reeds, (and nettles). Just up the translucency and your there.

I love the second version. Almost photoreal!!

[otakar]

Another killer render! I liked the added color from the flowers, but this is more realistic

[dwilson]

Very good render.  I really like the foreground rock, clouds, and the lighting

[Mandrake]

I kind of like the lack of brightly colored flowers in the foreground better. Beauty

[Marcos Silveira]

It's so well crafted... Simply, a work of art!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!

Thanks again for all the comments and helpful suggestions.  Here is the next low detail test.  I think things are coming along fairly well, but I need to keep working on the fish splashes, before I render it at high detail.  Again, no postwork done on this yet.

[Mandrake]

Don't know about the fish strike, but the perfect spherical or arch of the catty9tails ain't right. It should be chaotic.. Beauty bud!!

nice update love the veg just a small crit i think the stalks on the nettles are a little to vibrant i think thats my fault. to fix this either desaturate the texture map in photoshop or just decrease the brigtness in the default shader to about .5 and decrease the translucency abit
maybe do the same for the reeds to they seem a little to vibrant for this scene.
but overall it a pretty amazing scene !
