Bluff Over the Ocean v4 *Final*

[RArcher]

Managed to make a little TG time so I threw this one together.  It is a little more subtle than my typical images which makes for a nice change.  Nothing particularly complicated going on in the picture, but I think it all works together for a pretty serene image. Two upper cloud layers, a lower fog/mist layer, and a bunch of fake stones is pretty much it.  Then add in some of Klas's plants and that is all there is to it.

Simple but nice . The mist on the water doesn't look fantastic, but I like the soft blur of the foreground.

Very interesting foreground.  The rest is ethereal...sort of floating.

Nice stones and good texturing
I like the mood and atmosphere in this one.
You might consider lowering the density of the haze floating above the water. Think it is a bit too dense?
Nice work, but I think you can do better Ryan!

Hi Ryan, I tend to agree with TU here. BUT: still the overall image has something really good I can't quite express. I think its the colors and the lighting that carry the heart of the image.
Cheers,

Fantastic. Something different. Very realistic.

Bit of an update.  Changed the fog, added a bit of distant land and added trees.  Messed around with the clouds and added a few more layers.  Added some little sailboats to help with the scale.  Added some grain at the end for something different.

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions.

The high bumpy clouds look a little unnatural, but other than that, I really like what you did to this scene.

A bonny day for a picnic.    

I like this better.

Here is the final version for this project.  I am satisfied with how it all turned out.
