Beautiful image! Love what you did here, but I have to admit the fog needs to be broken up a lot more - then it'd be completely outstanding.
excellent

Very nice work Brandy! Glad to see you come up for air!!
Well done!!
Interesting...one of the reasons that classic vampires "go" for maidens in low cut bodices....
Fantastic scen and render!
Nice pose and feel. I particularly like the raven, and its natural pose, compared to the stagey theatricality of the goth/vampire. I don't like the fog though. From the point of composition, it is too high. It also, unfortunately, looks very postworked. A real fog (or approximation thereof using a fog prop/character, or particles, or whatnot) would obscure the gates more than the woman due to a greater thickness. (The only exception would be if the camera were located far away, several times as far from the woman as she is from the gates.) If the camera were far away, you would have the extreme depth-of-field (figure and trees both in focus), however I don't get the feel that the camera is that far away. This is the sort of image where you don't want to be too realistic. You want to depict what people expect in a scene, not what the camera sees. As an analogy -- most landscape paintings have both the foreground and background "in focus". The idea is that you look at the painting the way you look at the background -- your eye falls on the farmer plowing his field, the farmhouse in the mid-ground, the mountain in the distance etc. Similarly, in a work such as this, one's eye falls on the face of the woman, on the bird, on the gates, on the trees, and all should be in focus. (If you used the "depth-of-field" option, then the eye would be compelled to dwell on the woman and bird, since the background would be of little interest.) That being the case, then the eye expects the fog to be denser (because there is more of it between the eye and object) between the eye and the gates than between the eye and the woman, and even denser behind the gates. You could probably still post-work the fog by using a composite image, perhaps consisting of the interior of the graveyard, the gates, and the woman, and applying a layer of fog over each layer of the composit.
Great fog effect and beautiful work!
Nicely done...
Well this is rather spectacular. Gorgeous work and well worth a look :) Cathy xoxox
Nice atmosphere and the raven is a great touch! Can't decide if she's a maiden lost or a ghost wondering around those gates... an extra asset to the image's impact I guess! :)
amazing piece of work. the colors and lights look amazing. absolutly great work. Hugs C
So wonderful scene!
