I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

Very nice, captures some of the blue/green tint the Little Colorado picks up in its water ( along with minerals and a bit of a smell ) on its way to meet the Colorado river in the Grand Canyon. Have not seen it where your terrain is, where it meets up it is narrow and has very mild rapids which can be body surfed on one's back with a life-jacket on your bottom to avoid some rocks bumping too hard. Recommended "Great Fun" if you every get the chance! Very nice render!

No suggestions for improvement from me Bob.You have just done it again! Brilliant realism!

The total is awhsome. If you had the time, the water appears to be a different resolution than the distant shore and mountains. The shore has haze giving the feel of a greater distance, where as the water meeting the shore has no haze.

Having read through all the comments, I have to say this is a beautiful render. You've created a stunning photograph even though it's Terragen. This is positively beautiful and truely one of the best I've had the pleasure to view today. Sometimes the simplest makes the most gorgeous pictures. This is one of them!!!!
