Pictures made with file of Jordan Thompson. Vegetations Ulco.

Very nice. I like pretty much all of them.
Those images really show the potential of Jordan' s cliff setup. I especially like the complexity of all the accompanying textures. Each image has it's own merits, all are worthy of extended viewing, beautifully done!
Wonderful -I like all of them!
Excellent.
Thanks all for comments!

Thank you zaxxon, yes Jordan's file is excellent and very pleasant to work with!
Wow excellent work. Love the clouds in contrast to the low elevation lighting on the cliffs. Great work, love these.
Very nice spread
I agree with what zaxxon and all the others are saying ...great explorations man...
Monochrome version is my favorite, very nicely done.
Keep them coming - I always like rugged cliffs and outcrops!
QuoteMonochrome version is my favorite, very nicely done.
Ditto, especially the brooding, stormy clouds. But they're all terrific.
Thanks again for your comments I appreciate!
A other one with xfrog and Ulco vegetations.
So beautiful!
I am only a bit undecided what bothers me with the sandbeach .
Maybe I would like it even better with less fractal breakup (a bit smoother) and slightly brighter. What do you think?

Thank you Doc, I fully agree with you, the beach could be much improved. Honestly I only managed to make a beach to use a plane and a fractal power, the cut between the beach and the ground is always hard. Concerning water and shoreline it could be better too.

I like the one with the kangaroo, really nice. In the other one I'd decrease translucency of the leaves; in the shadows the greener trees kind of 'shine'.
The lighting is awesome!

So nice again! I like both!

Haha, that's so funny, I was thinking "wow it looks like Australia" and than literally a moment later I focus in on the Joey.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions!

Much more better here Pierre, FaceBook degrades everything heh heh heh
Last one is very nice. I like the little beach cove. Front cliff is also great.
Those last 3 renders are the best. I especially like the grass texture. The only thing that's a bit off IMHO is the bluish color of the trees, but that's probably a matter of taste. :)
Thanks Bobby, Dune and René for your comments.

Yes, for the trees it may look a little peculiar as a colouring, but the trees are euchalyptus whose natural foliage is tinged with blue.
The last one is my favourite.
Very beautiful renders! I like the fresh colors.
Thanks mhaze and Doc!
all the images of his series (terrains) were made from the work of Mick Hazelgrove (alias mhaze). TGD file Columnar Rocks modified by Jordan Thompson alias WASasquatch and re-cast by me alias Jo Kariboo ...

Nice work. I especially like the black and white versions.
Ditto to Kadri, especially 22
Yes, the B&W ones have some sort of eerie realism, like the last shots of an explorer before he succumbed. B&W always evokes that sense of realism, often more than color. From color renders I like 18 most. Good job!
Yes I agree the others, the B&W versions have their individual Charme! Great!
The B&W ones are great. You always manage to get a great sense of place in your work and the veg in the desert ones is spot on.

I agree on the colour one...it was the kangaroo that sold it for me Ulco...I suspect 'twas the same for you heh heh heh
I already saw these on FB. Fantastic images! I agree that the BW ones have a certain romantic feeling.
The monochrome ones are indeed fantastic. With some of the other recent color images, it's really nice to see new/different vegetation, depicting other countries (so often I think we see a Northern/American/European bias, though understandable given the audience here). The only small criticism I'd make is the trunks seem overly smooth on some of that vegetation.

Thank you all for your comments and remarks, I appreciate it very much!
Thank you Oshyan, Concerning trees with smooth trunks I guess it concerns image 18 with Ghost Gum trees, it is difficult to have an idea of the reality of this tree here in North America since this species does not grow there, I know that this may seem strange but in many of the photographs that can be seen on the net, this tree often appears with a very smooth bark and sometimes a very bright white.
Yes, primarily image 18, although also the flower stalks (?) in 19-21. Regarding the tree trunk in 18, I would say that it may be realistic for it to be so smooth, but what we see in that image are then two problems. 1: the join of the branch to the trunk (which I think could be somewhat hidden with rougher bark on the trunk), and 2: the overall low resolution of the base texture for the trunk, as there is some detail there but it is blurry. A smooth trunk in real life may have little detail, but what it does have is of "fine" detail so to speak. I think you could probably improve this just by adding a very subtle Power Fractal noise detail to the trunk texture.

Seems the fatter the trunk the more/darker colour that becomes apparent in the bark...yours must be more immature trees

I see, the ones I called bigger were more like these 2

Hi Bobby sorry but I don't know exactly what you want to tell me exactly. In my images it is about Ghost Gum and not Red Gum as in your examples. They are two different kinds of eucalyptus and obviously the bark is not the same.

D'oh...wasn't playing attention to species....my bad.
