Description
I am having some trouble with this image. It seems my perspective is not working. The statue in the distance is actually gigantic. The people in the forground would only be about the size of one of the statues feet. But for some reason, it does not look that way. The trees that litter the landscape are as big as the tree that you see the branch of, in the forground. Could it be due to the focal point and lens blur I used? Any hints or tips would really be appreciated. The concept is that a band of adventurers come to a ridge overlooking a valley and they see this huge statue, pointing off into the distance. Not sure what it points at, they get curious and begin to explore.
Characters:
Statue is Victoria 2 and Michael 1, hair by Daz.
Ogre by Daz. / Female adventurer is Victoria 2, hair by daz and the adventurers outfit with additional texture pack. / The knight is Strongblade by BlBarrett.
Thanks for looking

this image is very good and the idea too. I think this is a difficult poit of view. I think you shoul work more with the characters size or with blurrer focal point for the statues... but these are very small problems: your image is already good.

I've been thinking on this one since you posted it, and the only solution I can come up with is to move the statues to the side of the mountain. Its a good pic though.

Call me strange, but I do see the actual size of the statues, in the shadows cast on the trees below. Maybe less of a focal length would help, but I honestly don't see anything wrong with it. Good picture Eryk, good concept.

I really like what you're doing here. I'm thinking maybe to solve the statue scaling perhaps consider exagerrating their size. It may give the image the visual impact you're looking for by enlarging them to maybe 3 times the size they are now. Maybe consider taking the foreground tree out of the picture completely. Another thought is perhaps turn the statues slightly so they are pointing at the distant mountain as if to be giving the characters directions on which way to go to the next "landmark" or "clue" to their final destination. I think by making the statues larger it may also balance out the composition a little more too. I really like everything you've done here especially all those trees! You're definitely on the right track to a great image, I look forward to seeing the final version.

Very clear what you wanted to do with this. I think it's perfect as is because I can see the depth. If however you wanted to exxaggerate the statue's size without messing anything else up...shrink down your 3 foreground humans a bit. Even though they are closer the general size of human shaped figures here is real close (looks kind of depth deceiving). I think scaling them down would get you the effect a lot easier without re-working the image.

This is a really nice picture. I like how you have so many trees.
