Description
V3 says a fond farewell to Apollo as he heads out for a day of scouting.
The key to getting this looking the way I wanted it to was to find the right lighting so the background image and the foreground figures blended well.
I selected Mystic Forest MF022 from a freebie pack at RDNA. Then I added a shadow map to one of the lights, and used a tutorial at DAZ for adding dappled shadow to a scene. It was only mildly successful (need to try again with that) and I ended up doing some post work in Photoshop Elements to add more leafy shadows.
The only other post work was the use of some PS brushes to add grass around the base of the tree on the right, which is a DAZ fairy forest tree.
I hope you like it and, as always, thanks in advance for your comments :)

Good work on this, though the focus doesn't seem to be quite right.
DLG<> wicked cool, like the medieval!
Wow awesome work on a super awesome scene. :)
nice work on the horse, not many people can pull off a good texture for it
DLG- - -> I like the poses and the texture on the horse in really nice. Maybe it's my tired, sleepy eyes but the characters seem to be off scale when compared to the background.
Ace lighting! Tough to put all that together, great job ^_^
Very nice scene! Excellent job on the posing and the shadows on the trees. I like the background too!
Excellent!!
Lovely medieval scene :)
DLG~ Jayne this is a great scene. I love the image. Would you mind sharing the tutorial on the lighting you used?
DLG I love horses and I love this image! Great job! This is a very nice scene! I particularly like the poses and the way they are looking at one another! Just adds alot of emotion to the image! NICE WORK!

DLG ---> So romantic. Love it. Hugs
wonderful composition! the posing and lighting is fantastic
Wonderful artwork right out of a top quality fantasy storybook. . . impressive pose work, expressions, and overall image!!!
DLG... This, with the combination of work you've done - is simply beautiful, there can be not one fault found. The lighting, artificial or rendered in, is perfect to me... the posing, the scene everything, straight out of the movies, a freeze frame as it were. Well done!
Thanks for the great comments guys. Here's a link to the lighting tutorial I used, at DAZ. http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/tutorial/tutorial/-/?id=1367
