Title: Cross Country Rock
Post by: KlausK on August 15, 2018, 11:41:55 AM
Hi
a little something with masks.
Normal, inverted, added and / or used for displacement. On top of that some lateral displacement.
The plants are from a very old 3D World Magazine.

C&C welcome and appreciated.
CHeers, Klaus

Nice idea. I like the presence of stagnant water. Maybe some more grasses?

Nice experiment :)

If you give a metallic look to that stone it would look like Meteorite impact.

Thanks bobbystahr, Dune and DocCharly65.

I tried to change (hopefully enhance) the scenery accordding to your suggestions...
CHeers, Klaus

ps: the plants encircled red look a little like plastic, do they not? Would you change them?

Like! :)

On my monitor I don't see plastic. I think they look like young and fresh grown because of the water collected under the meteorite...

Thank you both.

I added a few light sources in the water and a little bit of luminosity to the flowers.
The light sources are kinda hard to control. Not quite what I had in mind but...the effect should be a little more subtle.

Definitely like this light effect. Makes it really intriguing. Fantasy like.

As with all of your work, very unique and dramatic. The changes make this image and the lighting so effective. Well done again.  :)

Great image.  Yes, the blue light adds something. The large boulder in the middle, however, seems a tad dark though.  I feel like if I were photographing this image, I would wait until the clouds had moved a bit and then click the shutter.

@Upon Infinity: maybe you`re right. I have used a plane as a light reflector for the "meteorite".
Could give it a touch more. But on the other hand...Thanks for your comment.
CHeers, Klaus
