I have an opposite reaction. Whenever I take a walk out in the country, I can't stop saying to myself, how much this all is beautiful and extraordinary, and how far and distant is my art (any art) from it. But again, I never thought that art and nature could compare. They are two different things with two different objects and goals. By the way, I never enjoyed the country and nature as much as since I've got into 3D, more than 4 years ago. 3D falls short of nature at both ends, in the tiny details, and in the very big. In the middle there is a nice room for 3d too. As long as one does not pretend it's like the real thing or it can replace the real thing. It will never have the unceasingly stunning variety of the real thing. Now I hope I didn't hit too hard on 3D... I still love it, LOL :-) Only, my love for nature and for what God created is so much bigger that it can't compare. So... let's not compare it and enjoy 3D for what it is ;-) - Orio
