Flooded Land V2 - After The Flooding

An other POV

very nice cloud !
the blur is a bit strong maybe.
did you change your usual values for lighting and contrast ? it is a bit saturated... more than one light maybe ?
it looks a bit like Frank's lighting, you know what I mean ?

[Tangled-Universe]

Thanks Frank
The lighting is a bit from behind, so that's why it looks a bit different from my usual works.

[Mor]

Great image. The moss on the stones looks very nice!

[Kadri]

Nice !
It looks a little soft.

I thought that you had tried a 3D stereoscope effect. The tree in the center is out of focus. Aside from that this is very pretty. I think you have done a great job.

Thanks guys

Perhaps a little strong blur indeed. I used a very small aperture size though. I'll see if I can get nice results with different settings.

Ghehe, no 3D stereoscopic effect
The tree in the center is not out of focus. Hence the grasses below. They're a definitely in focus.
It's an unlucky choice of trees, because they're a pain to anti-alias. AA was 8 with mitchell-netravalli.
Perhaps I should step back to some other tree-models.

Very nice, Martin. I like the landscape most (especially the foreground rocks, grass and moss), but the cloud, being great in itself, distracts a bit. I'd prefer a varied 'Dutch' sky, instead of a light 'blob'. It sounds very harsh, but you know I mean it well. It's just my personal view.

Doesn't sound harsh at all, I appreciate your input! I think it is a good suggestion. Perhaps this will also allow for a 3:2 composition instead of 2:3.
I'll definitely look into improving this one further.
The lighting is from the back, mainly to get the lighting in the cloud good. With an other type of cloudscape I should be able to get a bit more interesting lighting. Different angle, different elevation. You know what I mean.

Ahh... A Hollywood type tree, wants a close up and will not do a different shot.

some fauna amongst the flora will be next?....very nice Martin!

Thanks!
No chance. I've never seen any nice animals in TG2 from close up. If I'll ever have animals in my image it will be from distance.

Now that you have the moss on the rocks looking very good; next, you need to try some lichens. In all, the elements come together beautifully in this composition.

Look carefully Bob
