Description
Less stylized version of my previous post
- sort of how the inspiration for that one could have looked like as a real landscape, with a little cliché effects :)
Vue 8.4 Complete render, a few modifications, framing & signature with Photoshop. Most of the models & texures by me, foreground pines with Onyxtree. Cranes from DAZ/Ken Gilliland.
Thanks for viewing - comments always welcome and appreciated.
Have a nice day

*COMMENT UPDATE*
Some of you mention the lighting, as if there's a light source behind the camera. There's only one lightsource, the sun. I never use other than that for plain outdoor scenery. The effect on the reeds is caused by shadowmaps & backlight material effects. Personally I like it :)

Fantastic work on this render, what a spectacular sunset! Vashek
Nice that you posted this so people can see whats possible in the same package. Like both!!
I like both versions. Congrats!
still look good!! gorgeous composition!!
Beautiful.
This is absolutely beautiful! :O)
I like this one even better. All great art lies very near the border of cliché. That's why you are an artist, you know where the border is. This work is on the right side, in other words shows an artist that know exactly what his doing.
Both versions are fantastic!
Lovely modelling and really pretty scene. I like both versions very much.
I like them both! The backlighting in this really makes it stand out. The sun shining through the reeds really highlights them. Fantastic work!
Nice one! Your reeds are great!
I prefer no one: I like both for different reasons!
Beautiful great use of your own reeds etc.. Great reflections and lovely atmosphere
Really beautiful work!
Really, really beautiful image. The oriental + realistic motif is a interesting change for you.
Fantastic work on this render, superb sunset!
I certaintly prefer this one. But I'm surprised with the lighting on the reeds, which seems to come from the back, opposite to the sun. Did you used another light source ? Anyway, that's somptuous picture!
I like this version too! I think you're just showing off now! :)
Beautiful work. Great detail and clarity.
rich and lovely work!
Equally as beautiful, very stunning
very good work, still I think I like the previous version better.
are those world builder conifer trees? It sure looks like it...nice landscapes work, but it appears the sun is at the back but light shines on the reeds in front of the camera like the light is from end of the spectrum as well?
fantastic art. superb lines and light.
Beautiful, the light is stunning coming through the grass and trees.
~Most beautiful!~
Cool how the scene can be recycled with a very different look. Nice one.
Both versions are really beautiful but I think this one is better.
most excellent well done
