Ahh...the old Abrupt Denivelation trick!! God, what was I thinking!? Heh! Looks like he used a flat but higher elevation of terrain, lowered and with some erosion applied a water material to it. It looks pretty nice except I think the lower (bottom of the falls) area should show more distortion instead of the smooth waters look. It seems he tried a misty area there as well, but the one thing that detracts IMHO is the reflection on the lower showing the falls...again distortion. But, HEY, thanks Bill. I didn't mean to pick at his images, but I was sort of dissecting it verbally to discern how he created it. He has done a lot of nice work, but as we know it's the little things...details that people like us, tend to notice and how they relate to real life. Best regards, - Art -
