Not spectacular, but anyway...

A new challenge (WIP) in low resolution.

Looks great to me, except maybe the river edges are a bit to perfect.

DocCharly65 · November 23, 2015, 01:29:01 PM

In my eyes absolutely spectacular!

Though I agree about the river.

Hmmm... A WIP 'low resolution challenge' ... And is there more to this story?

Looks good. Something special must be growing in the square field hidden all around by trees.

I don't know Ulco, to be honest...is this a personal piece or work?

Quite a nice country side. The meandering river works fairly well. Soften the river edges a bit?

I need to find out how this particular river needs to look like; it's supposed to be the 'Berkel' around 1900. But rivers in our country aren't very spectacular at all, mind you. And the left part has been canalized, they wanted to have that shown.
What's your problem with it, Martin? just doubts is no use to me. I am always hoping for good crits to build upon. It's work, btw. So, any advice/crit is greatly appreciated

I could not find much. This is a modern image but there is the river.

Dune · November 24, 2015, 03:20:13 AM

Hey, cool, Chris, thanks. Didn't find that one. So you see, nothing spectacular.

I am not very happy about the flowers in my render, but in high resoution they will be softened anyway.

AP · November 24, 2015, 03:43:32 AM

No problem.

mhaze · November 24, 2015, 03:48:02 AM

It's a good image, as you say nothing spectacular but then it isn't meant to be, it's a commission that needs to be historically accurate. Some more trees along the river may help soften it. Maybe some yellower fields.

I hope I can help a bit, too:

Yeah yeah, no worries

I was curious to know if it's personal work or professional.
It's clear by now from your replies in the meantime that it is professional work and that aspects of the work are guidelines from the client.
So there's little room there for advice/critics, just something we all need to 'swallow'

It's not that bad, is it?

And thanks, Nils. I've got a pretty good impression now.
