Something I'm putting together for Dorian.
Very nice. Love the detail of the yellowish leaves ??? on the ground. Since it is a summer looking picture then I guess we not talking about leaves....but then what it is...
Yes, we have to figure out what to do with those leaves (they are leaves), either remove them or make the forest more fall like.
Since they looks great, I would make the rest of the trees "fall" :D
I like the lower part too :)
Nice Ulco, this forest is going to be cool. Hadn't thought about the leaves, but good point. I think if it's not much work to do, I would have some trees with fall colors, others can still stay green, and still others can be a little thinned out with leaves; and also do 10%-20% less leaves on the ground. Thin up the rocks just a little (10%). Sunrays through the mist would definitely be cool. Really, really nice work!
The mist is very evocative, it creates a moodiness that I like. The golden leaves are a curious compositional juxtaposition, but it sounds like that is going to change. Are the leaves a texture map or scattered objects? So many elements to the scene are really lovely, I'm looking forward to next image.
Big smile here.
It's an old pre-Roman road cutting through the hills of Sardinia. The basalt rocks look real and the lichen too;D
If those leaves are from the year before, could they be made with more brown? I love them.

I'll do some changes, like you prefer, Dorian, so it's more in balance. No problem. Already reduced the rocks. The leaves are just a photo I took a mile down the road, straight down, made into a tile; fallen beech leaves. But some scattered leaves on top could enhance that. Russ, good point about the hue!
I like this one a good bit better. More to look at I think.
I like the 2nd. :)
Great, Ulco!
Yeah 2nd looks great! ;)
Another one. I let the leaves fall off a bit (by worldscale PF) and added some fall rotting spots to the ferns.
I like the last one.
I feel only it needs more color variation.
By the way indexed image?To prevent stealing or anything other Ulco ?
A lovely, lovely image. The foliage is very complex, yet harmonious, and works so well with the mist-subdued palette. Beautiful!
It just gettin' and gettin' better! :)
Both, the second and the third are very good. the lighting on both are beautifully enhancing.
Yeah, indexed, I just thought to try a png this time. No other reason. But it is an idea to do if you don't want theft, have to keep that in mind. You don't really see it, do you?
PNG is theft resistant? In what way? ???
I thought about that more Ulco.
The problem is probably if there isn't any difference it won't be much a help too .
You use Lightwave too.I read that years ago 256 color images were used in production too.
Especially memory wise.
From a distance and depending on the image it is hard to see.
I only saw it when i wanted to try some editing for fun on it :)
@N-drju : It was about that his image is an indexed one.It does have only 256 colors.
Not a PNG specific thing only.
You're both right, it isn't theft proof of course, (it won't dissolve after a few days, though that would be fun) but maybe a little less interesting to print and sell maybe. I don't care really, my large files won't end up on the web anyway.
Fantastic forest! Love the lighting and detail work you did.

Nice image, Ulco. At least now I know I'm not the only one who's paranoid. ;)
A few updated images. The wood needed some fall colors.
I like the test 2. Reminds me of the early days as a young kid hiking in our forest preserves outside of Chicago. Nice vegetative variation and fog.
I like the second one more too.
On one of my monitors it is a little darker (looks better there to me).
Maybe it's me but i think with a little more contrast and-or different gamma it might look better.
I go with the 1st one. Like that sunshine around :)
Lovely atmosphere in both of those Ulco.
