Description
I'm currently working on a horror series this image is one of the early ones there is still work to be done for instance on the grave which need some mounds etc.
What I'm looking for is a comment on the atmosphere - this is intended to be a fresh, even hopeful morning at the start of the story. I'm using HDRI in Vue with a volumetric light to set off some ground shadows.
Have I caught the mood?
BTW I know I have some virtual mowing to do around the headstones.

Add same luminosity, make it a bit more bright.

And so... the light appears in front of her. Would she and the building not be casting shadows behind/beside her and the building? I like this alot.. a way cool scene.

If it is morning and hopeful/fresh I would depend heavier on more directional light of very light blue/yellow (as in real life) and longer, more pronounced shadows, and a sky that is not cloudy. You can of course use fill light so that shadows aren't nasty blobs. The cloudiness tends to darken the mood for me. Finally, I might say that rethinking the angle/blocking of the scene would also have an effect. Fresh & hopeful at a grave site is a tough one, even for me (and I find Voodoo imagery uplifting) I will say I really like the way it is coming, but since you asked for it, there it is.

Hi, Useful comments all, one issue I am finding as an adopter of HDRI is whist it give great looking images it 'diffuses away and shadowing. I will lower and shift the lighting effects - Back soon with an update. Oh, and yeah a cheerful grave scene - I pick my subjects well :)

the lighting seems a little odd, when looking at the scene it feels a kind of artificial or perhaps sterile... maybe the light might be softened or turned slightly yeallowish, the sun might be shown or at least insinuated I find the girl's shapes really nice, looks like you found a really good reference (btw does it come from www.female-anatomy-for-artist.com ?) should the scene be relived a little from its darker mood, you might clear a little those menacing skies... well or put some dancing mice on the graves :-) or both

Hi ekim Nope the pose is an unmodified pose for V4 in Poser - getting the clothes to behave - now that was more problematical I decided against the dancing mice - but it was a close run thing :)

I think you did a good job with the lighting and atmosphere you were trying to get here Yotna. Going to refrain from further critique because that drives me nuts LOL. Nice work!
