humorix - your criticism of my image is bang on. It was a "rush job" and that's obvious by the result. I spent longer compressing and uploading the image than I did creating the terrain and the ship. Thanks for the comment - I ALWAYS welcome genuine feedback! And as part of the purpose of this thread is to give critique, I'll pick out a few and give my view:- Aldaron - I thought yours was great - the colour and the 50's sci-fi feel is really well done. The composition, too, is excellent (and composition skills are a hell of a lot harder to learn than Bryce skills!) But it has "rough edges" - especially around the clouds, the guy's hands, the water's edge - that detract from the overall effect. I know we're not really meant to saturate these images with huge amounts of post-work, but 15 minutes or so in Photopaint or whatever could work wonders here. It looks like you just rendered and posted double-quick, which is maybe why you haven't done as well as you expected. Rochr - super pic, as usual, and it has a good mood, but it all seems too hazy - just a little gloomy for my taste. Humorix - IMO yours wins easily. The modelling is excellent and so are the muted / metallic colours, which are well-defined but not overpowering. However, the POV is rather poor and I reckon you spent less time on the background that I did on mine! ;) Collette1 - As you asked draculaz for comment in the last thread but didn't get any - I like your picture, it's easy on the eye and has a lot of detail, but a couple of things need improvement. First, it seems "bitty" and lacks focus - maybe if the characters were nearer the camera that would help. And there is not enough interaction between the elements of the image; the figures don't appear to be standing on the ground and the plants seem to be floating. Rayraz - a stange one, this. I saw the gallery post (the super-sized version) and I thought it was superb, original and with huge impact. But somehow, for me it doesn't really work as a smaller image. I don't know why, but it loses a lot of its "wow" factor. FWTempest - I would have voted for this except for the fact (IMHO) the cloud pane on the right spoils it. Its colours are banded and there's obvious cut-off where it hits the landscape. Other than that it's an extremely good image. ICMgraphics - lovely scene, good POV and that dust is spectacular... but (yes, there's a but) the foreground mist is a mistake. IMO the focus should be the ship so the foreground should be darker, perhaps with a few specular reflections. All the images are high quality, so well done all! And so everyone can get your own back, I'm just about to start on my first attempt at a significantly post-worked image, so feel free to cast upon the resultant digital travesty a veritable heap of "informed critique!" ;)
