Title: Garden
Post by: rcallicotte on June 10, 2008, 07:25:23 AM
The foreground is (clearly) a photograph of my wife's garden.  The rest is completely TG2...oh, except for the cloud.  Comments are welcome.

I really like this for it's surreal feel and clever construction. An excellent composite. :)

did you cut and paste the foreground section?
The lighting on that statue is pretty neat.
Very nice scene setup :)

I took a range of exposures of the garden with my camera and then grafted it into the TG2 file.  It was more than cut and paste - actual surgery!   ;D

Thanks Mandrake.

Nice one Calico.  The blending could use a bit more work, but I know how hard it is (and time consuming) to get this just right.

One way to get a bigger garden.  ;D

I think the colour matching between the rendered and photographic elements could use a little fine tuning but otherwise a nice result.

I agree with Mr_Lamppost, and as a colourblind guy this is the hardest for me. I can often see what's wrong but not how t fix it...LOL...and add very fine image comment of my own.. ...

Thanks for your comments, everyone. 

To change the photo to match TG2 is the best plan.  I agree about the mixture of the two mediums - it really stands out.  The lighting between the two is off.
