A Beautiful Day - Version 2

[Kadri]

Yes but it looks different

Love the detail of the new one - lovely.  I don't know what it is, though - the scale looks off somehow - still a lovely job!

[schmeerlap]

Yes I like that one even better. Compositionally I like how the viewer is invited into the scene between the clumps of grass.

I like the layering of the outcrop better in this one. A much better render, more in the quality which you regularly exhibit.

Much prefer the second one - first one too red, and I like the new surfacing.

[inkydigit]

great second version, I too love the rocks in this!

[RArcher]

Very nice Frank!  Very very nice.  Lots of great details and variations.

[FrankB]

thank you guys

Hi Frank,

I think your second version is much better. The color of the rock looks more natural to me and the fake stones are a really nice addition.
Good strata as well. Maybe it is interesting to add another strata-shader and play with the merger.
The only thing I'm not really keen on are the clouds, but I've never seen these before from you, so I guess they're in an experimental phase

Cheers,
Martin

Where'd you take those?

[Gannaingh]

Outstanding Frank! Excellent work!

[FrankB]

Thanks again.

Yes, the clouds... I find them interesting and different. Not spectacular or anything, but interesting (I think).

Cheers,
Frank

[domdib]

I think the clouds are rather nice actually.

[Henry Blewer]

I have seen real clouds look like that. It usually means there is a big storm on the way.

Frank, this is the kind of image that I've had in mind; and, I'm headed to the drawing board ...extra beautiful image here!
