disagree !
Like I already said before, quoting The Great Dirty Harry : "Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one."

Hahaha..... I am thinking about the tech help more than composition. And I'm glad people like what I have come up with.

Seth · June 04, 2009, 02:31:35 PM

tech advices are great, taste critics are "useless" (not really, the word is too strong) because they make you try to please people and not to please you and your idea of the render you're doing

littlecannon · June 04, 2009, 02:41:03 PM

Spot on... everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Very, very very beautiful. photoreal - congratulations

Hi guys after 67 hours of rendering... I have another pic.

MacGyver · June 06, 2009, 09:41:03 AM

Great improvement over the last image concerning the lighting!

Still a little grain in the upper lower left of the trees though but that's Terragen's problem $:-\$
Which render settings did you use?

Mohawk20 · June 06, 2009, 12:23:59 PM

Great clouds! I like where this has come, though I didn't think the initial image needed a lot of improvement anyways...

littlecannon · June 10, 2009, 05:58:08 AM

Thanks all, this is nearly there now. And I might render it again, with higher atmo samples.

EoinArmstrong · June 10, 2009, 06:37:06 AM

The lighting and colours are very natural indeed - as you suggest more atmo samples, and maybe a little less AA?

I notice that some of the leaves/needles on the trees and near-fully transparent...

Thanks for the comments, Yeah, I was messing about with the translucency setting and went a bit too far. other than that, I'm quite happy with it.

I wouldn't want to be one of the judges... in this respekt, I'm a bit Monk-ish, so deciding what image is best would be pure horror
