Description
Thanks for viewing.
I usually start every image with a blank canvas and once I have posted the image, I don't tend to go back and do anything else to it... I just move on to the next.
Changed all that today and was doing a bit more work to my faeries image (Planting of the Roses) and ended up creating an entirely different scene. Hope you like it. Nothing strange in this one.
No post work. I have been asked many times if I do post work on my images. Answer: Rarely (except for signature in corner).
I don't mind post and many people are terrific at it. I choose not to as I find Vue gets me at (or very near) to the result I am seeking. I also would love to animate my images (if I can find another 20 hours in each day), which I couldn't do effectively if I am doing post work on single frames.
Just retitled from 'Waterscape' to 'Pelican Cove'. Thanks Babasara for the title. Kiss. Kiss.

Beautiful! Excellent composition and lovely atmosphere.
A lovely peaceful cove. I love the gentle rays of sunlight streaming down. Well done!
Well done Scott!
Lovely cove! I love the pelican on the right as well as evetything else in it!
Fine image Scott!
So beautiful scene!! Excellent composition and lighting!! Your work are always sentient and dynamic, without postwork... ( I always depend on postwork...Ahaha...just deep sigh)
Another fantatic work. Your compositions are so damn perfect, lol. You have this touch for perspective and scale, as well as making a setting look natural. I LOVE the way the sun light just slightly paints itself on the rocks to the right. And the sunbeams themselves are a nice touch. I could never get those to work properly in in Vue4 (with th esunlight objects). Beautiful work.
Wow!!!! Scott this is so beautiful , the lighting is fantastic , very well done:-)
I am just speechless here! Incredible render! This lighting is dead-on, great sense of scale and depth, and I like the little touch of the 'roo in the background here! Well? So much for being speechless, eh '-)?!?
I like this better then the previous, since this one is incredibly realistic. Excellent work!!!
I like it !
Lovely work and great lighting!
Awesome image...I love pov and the sunlight breaking through the clouds. The birds look realistic and terrific... VOTE

I LOVE pelicans! They are my favorite birds. And I love this image!

I'd have to say this is perfect just as it is, sans post. Wonderful soft colors and mood. :o) CC
The cove turned out excellent.
wonderful artwork!! Excellent!!
a well composed scene, with excellent light. very well done!
And god spoke "let there be pelicans!" And there were pelicans! Ok, the roses are gone, but you can't have everything. Excellent one again Scott. Great light here too. And the little seagull in the front is a brilliant addition.
Excellent image, well done! :)
