Description
Vue 4, Wings 3d, Plant Studio, Painter 7.
This image is of the park where my wife and I used to work. We had lots of fun canoeing out to the big island. It is a manmade lake (the line across the back is the dam.)
The birds in the foreground are loons, background: canada geese, and on the middle island is a great blue heron. I made the geese and loons in Wings 3d and textured them in Vue. The heron is a terrain object. I made some plants in Plant Studio, but most of the foreground plants are retextured Vue plants. The only painting I did was on the flowers of the goldenrod (my wife wanted it specifically) and some touch up on the birds.
Thanks for looking

this is a excellent artwork of a beautiful lake.

Wonderfully done..perhaps a bit more contrast for the darks in the distant tree landscape. The water reflections and the birds are quite excellent.
Another beautiful way to start one's day. The coloring is wonderful. A gorgeous scene!

What a lovely place to work! you rendered the atmosphere in a bright way Excellent!
Excellent job with this image. Very nice.
When I view this I can almost sense the fragrance of the waters edge and feel the cool of the morning mist.
Wonderful image - extremely evocative and superbly executed. The composition and colours are great. The only improvement might be some ripples or wake in the water around the two foreground loons.
I think what I like the most about this one is the water and foreground plants. Over all the whole pic is fantastic!! Very well done! Vote
