Description
Hope you enjoy this one. I've decided to create a very dark, humid, misty and wet look as one would encounter being within the canopy of the rain forest with bits of sunlight streaming thru and lighting some of the features of the area.
I originally used a lot of radial lights placed at certain positions to accomplish the look I was attempting to achieve.
After stopping the render mid way thru, I decided to remove some of them for various reasons. It ended up as you see it here with 15 radial lights being used.
Enjoy and thanks for viewing and commenting...

Nice work and lighting, well done...
Such a wonderful render, Keith. The lighting is just excellent and love the foliage you've added. Truly beautiful work!
Wow Keith! That's really wonderful! One of your very best yet! Your landscapes are always good, always charismatic, but this is astonishing. You really have got a different look with here. Plenty of mood and.... brooding atmosphere. Very well done!
Very interesting and well done place! the radial lights really do add a sensation of muskyness! well done me mate!!
That's well done....realy well done!!!!!
Wonderful mood and lighting. Definitely a favourite.
Excellent lights and materials! -Bo
This is a corker, Keith! Those lights make such a difference to what would otherwise be pretty special anyway for a variety of reasons. Not up with the technical problems you must have encountered (as you know scantily clad warrior maidens are more my thing) but I really appreciate fine details and you have achieved a fine 'result' again.
Cracking result. Congrats on the lighting.

You've caught it beautifully here, Keith!! The redwood forests near me are very similar; much the same light a feel to them.
You really surprised me with this one, I love the dark and gloomy, sort of mystic mood you have set for your terrain and trees.
Interesting view....one can imagin the gaps in the trees way above the canapy, allowing just so much lighting in...Brovo
Beautiful mood and lighting.Wonderful composition and work.
Excellent!!! Love the sharpness and the shadows. The plants even have that moisture soaked sag.
like spenting the night in the rain forest looking out for some type of animal. this is cool and gives a mood of what i just say
Wow...It's just awesome work, Keith!!!!
Wow! The lighting in this piece is awesome and makes this all look so real. Excellent work!!!!
