Apparently the "Caption" thing doesn't do anything. The title for this pic is "Relic from Atlantis". Now the comments under the pic should make more sense.

Already??? :) Very nice piece, and the connection to Atlantis fits right in! A nice touch! :) I would soften up the lighting some, and maybe put some haze in the pic, but its just a suggestion.

I really love this, so evocative with the huge head of the Atlantean statue. Very nice.

Rochr: I agree with you about the haze, but when I tried to boost the haze even a little bit, I lost the whole pic in haze. I don't know if it is the scale of the scene or what, but every change I made just made things worse. I have a pet peeve about overworking a scene, so when I find myself fussing over it for too long, my policy is to go back to the best render and call it quits. I get itchy to move on to my next idea. :^) Also, I have a thing about getting a pic too dark...for the longest time I was rendering in a dark room so as to minimize distractions. Then when I first came to Renderosity I realized that all my renders were way too dark. If the lights are off in the room, the monitor is much brighter in comparison. Now I render with the lights on.

Hmmm...the fish in proportion make the statue head look smaller.

Nice Pic. If you can't haze it, you may try a 2d semi-cloudy screen filter in front of the camera.(like cloudy glass/with reflection to zero).I've used 2 or 3 of those with the transparency in the high 90's and shuffle them for a desired effect. This one would have also been easy enough to render a distance mask and add a slight DOF in photoshop. If I remember correctly, I think this month there is some latitude with post work. All in all nice pic and tie in to Atlantis. Good Luck!
