BIO
I'm an elderly Englishwoman with a Bachelor's Degree in English Lit/Linguistics and a lifelong interest in art, especially computer-generated graphics.
In addition to my artistic efforts, I sing (anything from blues to opera) and, depending on what I'm singing, I perform in all sorts of venues from nursing homes to cathedrals. Besides Renderosity, I belong to a couple of photography groups on Facebook and also have my own Facebook page.
I'm now happily retired and have plenty of time to indulge my hobby of photography.

Looks simple but pretty realistic. I like it.

Thanks :-). I'm still just learning, so it's a matter of fiddling around with settings till I find something I like and then saving it. Unfortunately, it took me some time to realise that I had to save all the atmosphere, terrain and other files SEPARATELY and I lost a lot of promising stuff that way :-(.

A dramitic render, Excellent work.

I agree with christianfly! Very natural and believable. Sometimes making an excellent picture like this one is a function of avoiding discordance. Nice one.

Thank you both Simplicity and stbc :-). After seeing the standard of the other pictures here I was very worried about posting up my work because I wasn't sure it was up to that standard, but I've been very pleased with the reaction I've received so far :-).

More like islands in heavy fog, but no matter - it's a nice simple image (and unreg TG you can render 1280 X 960 images max) Don't be concerned about our "standards" - we all were beginners once! Got a question ask us or visit the Forum. Good luck!

Well, islands in heavy fog at night :-)! I think I rather overdid the haze there a bit :-). Thanks for the nice comments anyway :-).

Perfect mood and POV... excellent water. And dont be afraid to post your work for all of us beginners begin by taking that plunge and posting here. And it's a great way for those who do know what their doing to help us poor newcomers.. :) Suggestion too ... don't be afraid to use PSP for a moon. I can't remember where I got it but I have some great brushes of moons and birds ... I use the birds all the time in my pictures now. And to make the moon 'real' try making it smaller.. I usually use .25 and 1 for the size and 55% and 18% for glow and power (found in the lighting of the sun tab) Keep this up excellent start..

Thanks, ppetersen :-). I DID make a moon :-). I thought the updated picture hadn't been uploaded, but it appears that it has after all :-). Thanks fractalinda for your nice comments too :-).
