Oh wow! It's just dusk, still some light left in the sky, and she's waiting for her fellow to arrive soon. Very nice scene, Sharen, and great use of the mood lamp! I think I'd try bending her left wrist so that her hand could be resting against the post; it looks just a bit awkward hanging in air. And how is there such a strong shadow from that hand against her dress? It isn't lined up right to be coming from the lamp, but if the lamp is that bright, the shadow can't be coming from the sun. There. Love a mystery. grin It really is a nice scene! :)

Nice scene, Sharen. I have some suggestions to (try to) improve : - add bump cracks to the wood "building" (don't know the name in english :) ) - ameliorate the material of the mount in the background (it should have rocks or something similar) Very interesting work ! Yves

Okay, I am going back to work on this scene and try to impove it a little more, thanks for the info. Sharen

Actually, she looks really fed up! Is he late again? lol.

Yep, and she is just sighing, oh hum, he is late again....LOL Sharen

Hi Sharen! Just passing by... and looked at the image. Outstanding! The grass is fantastic, gazebo texture perfect (looks like it was just built) and the lamp light is very realistic. I would have to say that the background mountain does look too perfectly rounded - making it a little less even might help. And maybe it's the compression on the image, but the water horizon on the right looks like it's rising out of the water - is there an impending tidal wave? For me, aside from those two small items, the image is great! Keep up the good work!

LOL, yes the waves are rising and it is going to take her right out of the picture, LOL, I was playing with uneven surfaces and I liked it so I left it in....Thanks for the kind words. Sharen
