Description
Familiarising myself with Vue after a long break. I started this scene and abandoned it months ago, but there's something I liked about it so I persevered this week... I'm still not entirely happy with it so I've posted it as WIP, and hopefully I'll get back to it sometime. Crits and suggestions are welcome.

miss the sparkling on the water, but I like the atmosphere, Great render! RS
It's very beautiful but I agree with the other comment, it does need some sparkles on the water, especially where the sun strikes it. Try some PS brushes they should do the trick very nicely.
Hi Craig Another WOW likes it too as eyes watch a simple place can feel the soul something missing can believe in anything beautiful work warm hugs that smile, Linda
like here the lightray effect
Beautiful scene, lighting and atmo!!!
good lightray effect
Beautiful one, but the water is slightly to calm for so much peebles and stones! Excellent WIP!
I'm loving the color, lighting, and atmosphere and the variations in size and layering in the pebbles and rocks. Is this meant to be a dry bed or one with water flowing through it? I agree the water if it's meant to be there needs to be more obvious. I am loving what I see so far. An original and exciting Vue scene.
Certainly worth improving. Has a lot going for it. Like others, I agree that almost all the light/shadow play if over on the right. So the stream on the left badly needs light and contrast.
Nice work so far Craig - couple of suggestions: a little more undergrowth beneath the trees, looks a little bare under there. Secondly, if your water object is a plane try changing it for a cube or adding a cube immediately beneath the plane - you can then experiment with volumetric materials on the cube to simulate the light attenuation and increased murkiness with depth that you'll find in real water. Vue does great water in the distance but getting closeup water looking convincing takes a bit more tweaking. HTH wzrd
I think its just wonderful. A very well done piece. Love it! ")
Excellent image!
Very nice scene. Great lighting and textures! Really well done.
Your lighting is most intriguing in this piece. I get the feeling that this is day time but the lighting moves me more to night time. Marvelous work. I can't wait to see what you add to this piece.
well I like it so far... it has a warmth and yet a touch of desolation
Nicely done...I think what it's missing is a little surface reflection on the water surface...not sure how Vue does this,but in Bryce I would try adding a radial light with low falloff above the water surface in the area hit by sunlight to give it a glint...don't know if that helps?Great scene and composition my friend!
Very beautiful! Wonderful lighting and atmosphere. Excellent work!!
Thomas Kincaid has nothing on you although Bob Ross' bushes might be slightly happier... Lovin' the pebbles.
