Not sure about this one..............something is "off" and I can't figure out what it is. Suggestions?

I think maybe that seashell hero rock would be better sunk lower into the water demonstrating the water's water-ness...I might even save it for another render as everything else sparkles for me.

The patch of water lilies looks out of scale at the distance I perceive it to be unless they are some enormous tropical species.
I like the muted background a lot. The foreground plant colors could be backed off in saturation or adjusted. 

To me the Turtle is kind of stuck in the middle of being a rock like a turtle or a turtle like rock. Better to go one way or the other.

[yossam]

Actually that's a good thing for the turtle...........predators think he's a rock and keep on truckin'. 

[Dune]

I agree with the comments. A thought crossed my mind; what if you sink the camera to low between the veggies (add some grasses maybe), add DOF and kind of get this awesome giant rockturtle loom over you, with the muted background trees. Could be nice. If you were to treat the turtle as a rock, you could try cover it with a pop of mosses/grass.

[yossam]

Added some fishys, not that you can see them, added something else also. No rock turtle in this one. May try Ulcos' suggestion. Where would you want focus with the FOV? Anyway...............

[Dune]

This is also a great improvement. But focus would be on the turtle and beyond, with front veggies blurred, the view of an ant, sort of.

[yossam]

An ants' eye view.....................requested by Ulco. 


Don't ask how long it took to get that ant on that blade of grass................

[Oshyan]

Haha! Great stuff.

I wish you were into animation, yossam!

[AP]

Very awesome theme. Nice DOF also.

[Dune]

   TOP, Richard!! Great render. The ant is a terrific addition, and indeed, the DOF is superb also.

[kaedorg]

hopefully i read twice Ulco's comment
otherwise i could have missed the ant.
terrific render with a great DOF

Badger,


I paid for Animation when I bought the plant bundle from XFrog. I never got a license from them after pestering the hell out of them. I gave up...............I'm not paying for the same software again.
