What better way to spend a hot summer's day in the middle of a long journey. Strolling through a primeval forest. Does help if you have well trained horses to carry the baggage and a friendly wolf to guard you. Again based on Jean Auels' books, this is after they have left the Mammoth camp. What do you think? Have i got the forest light almost right? No post work yet.

What a wonderful idea and a beautiful setting!.!>!> The shadows on the legs seem difficult to explain. And a bit too much cyan. You might whant to add some gray lighs and a bit more yellowish tint, over all. I wish it were bigger. It feels so good! Beautiful image. Thanks, Q

I agree with quixote, at first I thought they were both wearing thigh high boots. That first tree on the right seems to have a shine to it. I don't know if it's the texture or actual shine but real trees don't reflect that much light so it detracts from the realism. The texture of the tree at left is spot on! Hummm...the other trees might benefit from that same texture at different frequencies, orientations, color manipulation and sizes, what do you think? I also think there is too much radiosity green lighting giving it a yellow/green cast, perhaps it should be a little more subdued and maybe also some other colors like blues added (lights) to help balance the color contrast. The image itself is quite appealing. Seems to have a nice airy and fresh feel to it, like newfound love. I like your idea of adding substance to your readings by extracting a visual from it. Very nice indeed, thank you!

Nice work can't wait to see it finished.

chohole, I dunno it looks pretty good to me - perhaps a little less shadow intensity(?) May I say that your posturing of Poser figures is getting much better - not yet perfect(the girl looks a little stiff) but still pretty good. All in all there is an exellence to your work - a qualitty that seems to remain constant through time. I like the colors in this one as they are; but then I'm prejudiced towards green. - TJ

One suggestion. Make the tree at the right less shiny. It looks like somone polished it :) I like the light.

somone is someone.

The way the shadows are falling and the tone of the light makes the picture look more like morning or late afternoon to my eyes. If it is midday, the shadows should be pooling under their feet and the light should be a little more plain. Definitely a good job with all the poser figures. I like the moods you are capturing in these pictures. Lin
