Description
Made so many test renderings and couldn't get the shadows to look right that I ended up painting and postworking them in. Used Dreamlight's Mask Creator to make a copy of the plant and vase, then blurred and warped it to make a shadow. Combined renders using Light Dome Pro with and without shadows.

Wonderful image! Like the details!! Very well done
FORMIDABLE__My old friend ;-)
Very nicely done....it actually has an "old masters" feel to it and your shadow painting was handled very well.
The realism is startling Dave
So well done and echoing what vangogh said, it does have the look of a beautiful ole painting. Creative work on the shadows, they look perfect. Definitely a favorite.
Oh my gosh ... this looks like something Vermeer would do. Absolutely stunning! Excellent work. The lighting is spectacular!
I agree very much with vangogh above. It does have an old masters feel to it. Was very much worth all the work. Her expression and body language is just right and the color tones are muted just perfectly to fit the mood of the piece.
Well done, nice pose and I really like the butterfly, very nice touch :)
An excellent scene> You did a great job on the shadows.
DAG<<> WOW!! Dave really well done dude, looks almost like a photo
Just Beautiful....!!
You have captured a great atmosphere with this and your painted shadows are ace. One couldn
t tell if you wouldnt have mentioned it. First class !Vermeer-like.
As always... SUPERB!!!!
Getting light & shadow to look good takes time & effort, I really like the way yours turned out. You have created a natural feel, really good.
Perfection!
Very beautiful and stunning realism in this picture! talos said it: reminds of Vermeer !
One of your best...keep on tweakin.. ...
Oh my! This is gorgeous! The shadows are wonderful too!
stunning! the lights and the shadows look perfect, as does the pose. I really like the mood of this image, great work
Vermeer meets Magritte;-)--that little postwork made a bit difference!
Excellent and very realistic looking! Great work.
Awesome lights and shadows!
stunning per usual.. I would offer tha tthe lighting transition in the corner is a bit abrupt . a bit mor emabient occlusion to the corner and some bounced light on the left wall away from the corner would help sell that wall a bit. Also there is a tiny strip of wall below the table that is visible that should be either larger or gone.. at it's present size it looks like a flaw. But these are tiny nits in the face of what is an awesome piece.
Absolutely stunning work of art, superb lighting and pose, in fact everything about it is so wonderful, a favourite for sure!!!!
Superbly executed! Well worth the work you put in!
Lovely image! 5+!
Absolutely fantastic! You did a great scene, and your shadows are very well done, I just love the little sadness in it!
Stunning work. D
wow, very beautiful !
