excellent job, both of your vue images are well done!...this is my favorite though...I love the water and the dead trees.......

Excellent scene :)

very intresting and makes we wonder what place he lives and the desier to see more. An animation would be really cool.

very simple yet powerfully striking image , I like this one a lot .

Holy cow! This is incredible! What a really powerful and evocative image. Everything about this is perfect. You get a top 20 vote from me.

Very cool pic

I really like this. You've capture a piece of a story. Nice atmoshere and lighting too. Kudos!!!

Good job, really good ! I like the concept, the story and everthing. I nearly can hear the paddle diving into the water and the sound of the small bow wave as the boat glides on the water. Well, I guess I realy like it - wonderful !

Wow, I'm glad I looked at this one. Wonderful, simply wonderful.

beautiful! it has a really serene feel. I think it could look better though if you put some fog in the foreground, it'd look a lot deeper.

Thanks to all of you for all these nice comments. That really makes me feel like doing some more. I would't think he uses a paddle though, but rather a long pool, which is more silent and more rudimentary. It is a pure Poser cylinder, by the way. I would love to make it an animation. In that case I would have to decide where he is going, of course, even if I already have a few ideas. But I also like it as a still image, so everybody can imagine whatever he wants. By the way guys, where would YOU think he's going ? That could help me to do some more - Souleye, thanks for that constructive comment, I'll think about it. Thanks again to everybody.

This peice inspires a feeling of loss and gloom, maybe its the gray, an excelent peice of art this is...

When I was a child, I lived for a while in a place in Pennsylvania that had once been extremely fertile and beautiful. But development housing destroyed the natural drainage there. Banks washed away and became dams elsewhere. These fertile valleys filled with water. The water was polluted with dioxin from the garbage tratment facility. Years later all that remained were dead ponds where no ponds should be, dead trees standing in them like grave markers. No fish, no turtles, no amphibians. For some reason Yanga reminds me of a tiny red eft I found in the road outside our house one day and kept until the next day when I could release him in the woods behind my school 40 miles away. Anything to get away from that dead place. I hope someone picks Yanga up and puts him in a place with good earth and clean water.
