===== From agage@csee.usf.edu: Spectacular use of light and shadow. I like the sunset feel to this, and the specular reflection off of the water is great. ===== From xeo@home.com: A nice warm environment, htough the landscape needs to be smoothed ===== From witoslaw@kki.net.pl: Interesting and realistic... ===== From manorton@tcnet.net: Very nice. I love your landscape. ===== From jerry@hoboes.com: Very nice lighting, sky, fog, and landscape. ===== From Sean_Hamilton@amrcorp.com: The mountains and sky are beautiful. So beautiful that they become the center of attention instead of the water. ===== From vogelap@email.uc.edu: Beautiful! ===== From klynn@uswest.net: Nice lighting ===== From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de: Truly amazing and enchanting landscape. Well done. Although the light source lighting the mountain in the background from the front and a mountain somewhat close from the rear is not realistic at all, it makes for very dense atmosphere. The fog is just about perfect. ===== From pdolan@jps.net: Good, would have gotten perfect artistic score were it not for the "jagged" hills in the lower-left corner ===== From sanna@censa3.polito.it: Wonderful ===== From jaime@ctav.es: I'm writting this after our last messages. So I must repit the same. Your landscapes are cool. Very cool. Too cool perhaps for pov, it looks more like Bryce, which makes more easily very good landscapes and skies. The only pain is the too well defined water border, but I know that a more realistic one is very difficult. Thinking on it, I figured a method you can try. Something similar to what I've done for this round. Think on this: if you make a copy of this scene, but making the mountains totally black, removing the sky and replacing the water texture by another with the same parameters for the normal but in a pigment statement from black to white, to obtain a nice height_field of the water cutted by the terrain (placing the camera exactly above). You could then load the resulting TGA into a paint program to paint "ripples" around the water hf borders, as if they were beating the coast. Sorry for the hard and quick explanation, hope I've expressed it well. Bye! ===== From Varyk@aol.com: nice scene. Wish there was some way to lose the faceting at the far righ= t, rest looks great. ===== From djohnston@iname.com: You did a very good job here with the water and they way it merges ot the land. I also like the nice warm colours. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Wow, a gorgeous (but barren) landscape. Interesting lighting -- which direction is the sun, in front of the camera or behind? ===== From Martial@Biosys.net: Yeah ! Great pov and beautiful edit scene ! Thanks for this moment of calm. :-) ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Maybe you were just playing with three components but the result is a very artistic image. The composition, colour and lighting make it stand out as one of the best. ===== From chipr@niestu.com: Very pretty scene, quite impressive. Good sense of scale. ===== From r@138.102.96.24: Notable for lighting ===== From r@203.102.40.35: nice feeling of distance in this image Notable for lighting, composition ===== From r@dialup-78-168.infoserv.net: Wow! - usually that words would do, but this image deserves more. Even though the mountains take the scene, not water, it's quite good and relaxing to see this image... excellent work on the lighting. Notable for lighting, composition ===== From r@dc2-modem1283.dial.xs4all.nl: Very smooth. I guess there wasn't much wind that day? The lighting looks really mysterious.. nice! Notable for lighting ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: Notable for composition ===== From r@tk156239.telekabel.at: A good image. The height-field in the front looks like smoothing was turend off.
