Description
- The nobleman's little son and his escort/guardian, the knight, have been forced to take a break at the local forester/blacksmith/hunter deep in the forest. The horse had lost a shoe, and was beginning to limp and being irritable. Fortunately the forester was the man for the job...
- Second render of the "series" (it *could* become one).
First one can be viewed here
I finally got this one put together, one of my more complicated scenes. Mainly due to the characters, who needed dressing and posing, and also proved to be very tough on Vue (as expected *G*). I really struggled with resource drops and out-of-memory errors on preview renders. Vue, Poser and Photoshop for some levels adjustments and touch-ups.

Some artistic license taken :) The houses are probably a little too modern for this to be "realistic", but much to my surprise they actually had horseshoes as early as 500 A.D. in Europe. Not that it would have made any difference for the composition, it was a good idea for a scene anyway :)
Thanks for viewing and comments.
Have a nice day

Stunning scene Lars, perfect in erverything !!!!
Very nice work, very photoreal IMO..
Now here we have a real masterpiece, a work of fine art. Not the lightest touch of Poser look in the figures, they all look completely natural. It could be a work of Constable, except that he could not made it so photo realistic. The light is superb. And best of all, we don't know if it is fantasy or reality, it could be either! This kind of work you will never see at CG Society they are far too commercial.
I really enjoy every details in your picture. I have a great admiration for your skill. Beautiful work.
Exceptional image Lars, well done, I particularly love the pathway into the forest, with the blue haze, lovely 5*****
This is beautiful and so detailed!

Top work, Lars! A really good job to your computer :) Regards R.
nice render and lighting, I have noticed that you are beginning to use some kids in it which I have never seen on your past render scenes. I like the textures, sticks, misc things on the ground.
Great scene, the lighting is perfect.
What a wonderful scene! It looks like a scorching hot summers day
Definitly Splendid
nice scenery and colors
Boy you set the bar high Lars.. a really wonderful scene and your figures are so natural.. including this great draft horse!!
I must agree with Vintorix this is indeed a masterpiece! Everything is so natural and the composition as if I'm viewing the actual scene. Your work always amazes and inspires me but this is on another level. I love it, period, it's perfect.
Truly exceptional scene…the lighting makes it seem as a pleasant bright warm summer’s day.
