I am no longer active here. Too many restrictions and unpleasant interactions with admin.
In addition I now focus on traditional art, which is very neglected on this site.
If you are interested in following my art you can find me on RedBubble

See you there!
About my Art - Watercolor, Poser &Vue I have been painting mainly with transparent watercolor on paper. Most of my paintings depict hypothetical situations and imaginary scenes, striving to capture ideas and moods rather then a resemblance to specific places or people. On many occasions more than one way forward suggest themselves either from the onset or during the painting process. I like to explore these possibilities in different paintings and thus I have several ongoing themes (Some examples of themes I worked on are shown in the image above). I started useing Poser and then Vue mainly to set up virtual models and/or scenes which are then painted in watercolor. The CG images were supposed to be only an intermediate stage, but I now got the CG bug, and I'm trying to make these images a 'product ' on their own accord. Feedback is really very important to me. I appreciate any form of it: comments on the impact the images had on you (or saying it had none), things you enjoyed, things you hated, any artistic aspects - (composition, color, lights & shadows etc.) - any technical comments( eg Poser/Vue issues) and anything else you find relevant. If you dont know a lot (or at all) about Watercolors, Poser or Vue, please dont let it deter you from leaving a comment. Just comment on what you see and what it made you feel or think. You could also ask questions, and if I know how to answer - I will.

nice pic but i think the dof needs a little work..the fungus is out of focus but the leaves are sharp..i reckon it should be the other way round

Great discovery! What did you do to find these things, did you crawl all over the forest? :-)

I am glad you enjoyed my little discoveries. I posted them to share the fun. Rutra: I nearly fell into the pond trying to capture my previous posted image, and my cloths got caught in the thorny branches above this log, thought I will have to leave some of my cloth behind :) The camera has a bit of zoom, but still have to get quite close. zollster: I agree with you that the mushrooms should be the focus, unfortunately my camera thinks it knows best - in front=focus, further = fuzzy. Is there a way to change this in photoshop or other software?

Very nice capture. Like it.

Maybe you can change the autofocus mode on your camera. I have switched mine from the default "field" mode to a "spot" mode, which basically means that I have to aim for the thing I want to have in focus, then rearange the camera to get the picture I want, then take the picture. I don`t think you can change that in photoshop, but then, I am not an expert for that. Really a good picture.
