Description
Just practicing; not totally happy with this one - probably due to the light. This is the final.

Looks awfully convincing to me, including the brackish water!
Looks like Texas.....send rain.
Love your image Bob, especially your rocks ! Superb composition !
As a scene, you can't beat this one.!! I think your problem is the title, it doesn't seem to convey 'Once a river'. Either that or the water may be too green. Either way it's a great AZ scene.
Really nailed it with the lights Bob, well done
Allot of of earthen colors in this makes it mice! Natural flow of the rock looks good, too, Bob!! Not sure wat you don't like, but it looks good to me!!!
Thank you all for visiting. I'm still thinking a better lighting setup could have yielded better results.
Fantastic terrain and surfaces. Gorgeous lighting. Corrie
Well I for one see no issues with lighting when displayed in zoom....Though maybe because I can't help but get distracted by all the fantastic rocks and boulders and the textures you chose to give them is why I see no lighting issues....(smiles)...
vewry great real
still, a very natural looking scene
very nice terrain, splendid textures.
Xlt realism
I like it Bob...the colors and contrast are superb. Most of your images lack contrast and depth of color but...this one ROCKS!!! Way to go!!
Very beautiful composition, Bob!!!
As you already know Bob - a small change to the lighting can make a big difference!The best part is the ability to "tweek" it multiple times until you achieve the desired effect!Keep playing! :)
wery nice scene, great terrain, excellent Terragen shot
Very nice!
Those rocks are awesome!The light is a bit off indeed but I have no suggestion on how to fix that.
as always, another excellent render BOB
I agree with Mark- I find the afternoon lighting very realistic, and the rocks and vegetation seem very natural too. There is a small "mountain" in central Missouri where I sometimes go to take care of tower sites- this is easily lifted from a particular spot I know. Excellent work!
Very well done, Bob!!!
absolute photorealistic! ;o)
