this is one of your best works...excellent. Nice clothing morphed on her body..nice done on the ripples in the water and excellent eco vegetation in background..is this done in Vue 7, 8 or 10?
Wow!
nicely done Lars! The ripples are excellent, looks like the spot ill be camping in next week :D
Wow! Awesome landscape, superb character and pose, an excellent interpretation of the original photo, excellently done!
great work!
Amazing. Beautiful render. Nice composition and light control.
Terrific pose Lars...love the outstretched leg and the ripples..nice touch. 5
This is brilliant, the landscape, the pose, and the extra-conforming clothes in some area ^^ , very nice work !!
Say, as good as you've always been with these scenes, some more fanciful then others and so on and so forth, I think you should try and put you mind to creating YOU OWN version of "The Vally of the Shadow of Death". Yeah!, that would be awesome, I mean if you could handle it, right? hehehe But though you do all these nice, pretty, flowery, lush green life everywhere, you also have a very great skill that you may not even be aware of, which is, you know how to lay out a photogenic scene. I'll email you this since I think you rarely if ever actually come back to read or reply to all your fans, bad, bad, bad you hahahehehehe Keep it up though...............md :)
Lookin' really good!
Excellent work on the scene and the lady. One of your best.
Very well done. I like the way her leg sort of shows through the gown like it would in real life if it was wet:)
Very nice pose, and excellent use of DOF. The ripple is a nice touch. The hair is fighting the natural look of the scene a bit, but that's almost always true (even of dynamic hair). I find hair usually benefits from at least a little postwork, because polygon hair is so stiff and strand hair is so uniform and programmatic. The clothing works very well, though, and that's another dynamic element that often appears too stiff or too simple. I like how the light is very bright and ambient, but the scene still has its share of shadows. Very peaceful work.
Great all up. I have to admit that I often don't like people in your scenes. Yet in this case, the relaxed and sensuous nature of it is a perfect addition. As has already been noted, the lighting is cetrainly believable and seems to be well placed to make the most of the details, like the excellent grass in the forehand. My only negative criticism is that if you look at the ripples in the water, going by where they have extended on the right side, they should actually be reacting to the rock and sending secondary ripples out. I am led to wonder whether all the trees in the background are individual object, or whether they are a previously rendered scene used as a backdrop? I am not entirely sure, but are they anenomes (wind flowers) behind the woman?
I checked out the original, yours is a good rendition. Very nice!
excelent work
Wow... This is really good!!! :)
I agree with Don! The pose and the ripples are brilliant features! The light is wonderful in your scene.5+
Very charming character and a marvelous environment! Well done! **********
Masterpiece, Lars!
Excellent landscape, and stunning resemblance to the original photo. My compliments!
This is really a superb image ! The landscape is excellent and the pose of the character is perfect. The ripples on the water are a fantastic addition. how did you achieve that result ? Did you model them ?
Superbe scène très réaliste!!!
very great real work
THis is really beautiful!
I like your even better. Very beautiful work! Soft and lovely.
Beautiful, idyllic picture. I do have a technical question though: How do you do the ripples around her toe? I have never been able to do that. Its been so frustrating not being able to have the water interact with an object in it that I have given up on using water in my scenes. As always you remain one of my most favorite artists, even if I forget to mention it
Stunning scene. Nice lady too :o)
wonderful scene with excellent pose and atmosphere
It's just too perfect " wow 5++++++
