Description
This is not an early Halloween image, its more like a punishment from the Devil himself!!!
Nothings gone right, from start to finish!! I spent all week working on it, and 6 hours solid today!
It still doesn't look right to me, but Ive had enough, I don't want to play anymore (stamps foot and growls at the PC)

Beautiful conceptuality and imagery, and I love anything "goth"... ;)
My sympathies! But it looks great. I like the idea!
Looks good to me Steve! I love the moody type stuff. :) BTW, the website you mention in your credits doesn't work. Is the name spelled correctly? I'd love to go grab the stuff. -Suze
Hehehehe, sorry this was such a bear to get done...but it was well worth the effort! Very cool scene and I love the whole mood you've created. The ghostly spirit is super and I like that bird that watching over everything, too. Terrific job!!
Sorry Suze, I spelled it wrong! (Now corrected)
Wonderful and very mystic looking scene! Excellent mood and atmosphere, here! BRavo!!! V
hey what`s the big problem Steve ;) this is a wonderful creation,so well put together,love your ghostly spirit and the gothic atmosphere,excellentky doneV
Love the ghost, wonder how you made her? Scene composition and details like the stained glass window, bird, and sky, are great. The lighting of your pretty ladies outreached hand, and other hand and skirt could not be better. Perhaps the light that makes the ghost stand out so well ( takes a lots on a transparent object ) may be spilling over to the near church ruins and Vicky's hair a tiny bit too much, or at least that is my guess at what may be giving you the feeling you mentioned above. Sometimes lots of a render just needs to be dark to give contrast and focus to the "important" stuff. However I disagree that "Nothing is right" because there is an aweful lot to like about this render!!! Excellent!
looking good to me. But I did not know what you tring to do too.
WOW!!! This is really fantastic love your imagination and like the idea,excellent composition and mood!!VOTE
ROFL don't stop playing. It's wonderfully imaginative and the composition is fantastic.
Ah, MAYBE you're trying too dark? Colors tend to shift in the digital world, just as in film, when the lighting is dim. Having said that, I think the entire thing looks great, except that the girl seems to be lit with green light, while everything else is more blue-white. This contrast with the white spirit makes her look "dropped in"; he illuminates her hand without casting light as far as her face.
I'm never happy with anything I do, really. So I understand. But this is beautiful!
I think this image is wonderful the composition is outstanding. The mood and atomoshpere are amazing, though I fail to see why you are not happy with the image keep them coming :)
