Description

A land forsaken. Forsaken of warmth, forsaken of life, forsaken by man. The days are frigid and the nights are bitterly cold. Hopefully it shall always remain unspoiled and pristine. Safe from harm. Forsaken from the thoughts of man. This is a contest entry for the Seasons of 3D contest at deviantART. Hopefully it does well. :-) Terragen render. Rendersize: 6000x4500 pixels Rendertime: 18.5 hours Terrain: El Mocambo II by hillrunner. (2049x2049 mojoworld export...mojoworld planet El Mocambo is by prutzworks) Postwork: Sharpening, contrast & brightness adjustment, minor color balance tweaking, minor liquifying and cloning to fix some artifacts, and resizing in photoshop 7.0 Please enjoy! :D -Mike

The lighting is just stunning. I stared for a while before posting. I love the snow texture, the subtle rippling along the water's surface, and those beautiful beams of moonlight. This should so be a poster. I'd buy it.

The grandeur, atmosphere and lighting in this are all glorious. There is a fairly hard line, where the land meets the water. This may result fromm the sharpening. Could this be softened by a little blurring?

Terrific landscape and atmosphere. Your commentary puts the finishing touch on it. IMO, the reflected peaks are magnified disproportionally, but perhaps this is due to refraction of the water and effects of water vapor/ice crystals? I've found that by reducing the 'Reflection Spread' setting, I get more realistic results than with the preset. Overall, an excellent piece -- best of luck with the contest! FIVE STARS
