J' adore la troisième.
i like the third.

TheBadger

It has been eaten.

Great start Ulco :)
The third looks nice as a POV but i like some things from the second too.
The plants look more placed like in the wilderness and i like the tree in the distant on the left of the boat.
Not sure about the tree on the front right.

I always get a spark of enthusiam when I view your work. The third image is what did it ...very good Ulco.

Looks very nice. Only one suggestion :  perhaps you should add flat stones on top to get a paved path if you want to acheive an authentic roman road

Dune

I wish I could do the flat stones, but this is a Dutch scene. I'll find out how they did these roads here, whether they had poles on the sides to keep gravel/sand from spilling away, whether the roads were that hard that tracks weren't really visible, or whether they're supposed to be rounded, or whether they used some stones at all. I think I like to make this as realistic as possible, not just an experiment.

ok, this is a dumb question, but...aren't there flat stones there? ???

Dune

Not much, so all that had to be imported by these Romans. So I guess they only paved important parts of their roads. I read it was mostly gravel here.

Lady of the Lake

Wonderful....always nice to watch a master at work.

Dune

Apparently the boat's center point was just below water level, so when I dropped it it fell to earth.

This is looking more and more photographic.

It is indeed...

Antoine

It looks so real!
If you could just add a few roman soldiers besides or in the watch tower.

Dead right, it DOES look photographic! I was just  about to post an image until I saw this, and decided I'd better put some learning time in, before I chanced my arm again.  This is truly terrific work and I for one, bow to your obvious experience with this sometimes difficult program.
