Rose mountain

[domdib]

This render really needed high GI - 4/8 - primarily because of the reflected light from the snow illuminating the shadows.

Great lighting. I think this would benefit from seeing the sun disk also.

really good lighting..maybe a different pov and some added point of interest?
the forms also see a little 'rounded' ...
still the lighting does it for me!

[Gforce]

great shadows.

[domdib]

Thanks guys.

@inky - I know what you mean about a point of interest, but I was aiming for simplicity with this one.

@njeneb - the difficulty with putting the sun disk in is that it would be so bright (strength 7) it would pull the eye away from the mountain.

[Henry Blewer]

That would be difficult. The haze glow in the atmosphere would have to be very low.

i'm a little bit let down domdib, i dont see any roses... 
just kidding, its fine without them

excellent lighting, the 4/8 was worth it

[domdib]

Thanks!

The colors of low sun and decay make this a striking image. Now you must hunt for a good point of view - then, add some vegetation (probably some pines and/or spruce) to complete the composition. Very good so far.

[domdib]

I appreciate the suggestions Bob, but there's only one problem with your suggestion for veg - this is a render of Kangchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world, so we're WAY above the tree line

Cat's get to eat lobster on Tuesday. What?

[cbest]

Yeah great lighting.
