Interesting textures, neat composition

It´s a nice landscape!!!!! good work. :D

Nice work Keith...terrains look good and I like the blur to distant terrain to add depth-Neil.

COOL TERRAIN

Wow, as I said in previous comments, reddy brownish coloured rocks are my favourite type of terrain so I love this one. I like the sense of scale of being down in the canyon and think that applying a space sky rather than the usual earth one is marvellous. Excellent work Keith. Tony :-)

Very cool!!!

Nice stepping up into the higher ground from the dark, mysterious pool. Nice lighting falls downwards over the rocks, but doesn't quite get to the water - only reflections disturb the pool. Relaxing.

I love when one thing leads to another, when we see beyond what's right in front of us. This is stunning, the water seems so deep, so real. The sense of night and mystery here is wonderful.

Fantastic work !!! Ana

And your end result Keith is simply outstanding. Excellent DOF! Muis

Hi Keith Funny how life is I did what you did last night so this makes this one so much more special awesome work sweet smile to you warm hug, Linda

Very nicely done--stepped landscapes are always difficult for me but you have done a great job in this image. I also like the textures that you have used. Bravo!!

Hi. Nice idea. I have a few pointers though: The textures need work. I have said a few times to people, when doing mountain scenery, especially the background mountains, I found the easiest and most effective way of increasing scale and realism with a texture is to simply up the XYZ scale of each ABCD material which creates the parent material (if that makes sense...) The other thing is that the planet looks too close to the scene. If you enlarge the planet a very great deal and throw it far back, it creates a more believable planet. And last, if this is a canyon surrounded by sheer rock walls, the water would be dead still, espescially on a clear night... I hope you dont take any offence. Sorry if you knew these techniques already.. Hope you find this helpful. Cheers man. J

Excellent image. 5+.

This is in response to JordanHolmes comment. When someone assumes they can redesign my intent with a render, then they should have the work in their gallery to back it up. I didn't see any. I much appreciated the suggestions and I sent a site mail acknowledging them with a thank you for the suggestions. What do I get in return but my exact site mail, I assumed, as a meagher response that it was received and read...nothing else. If you took the time to do a 9 line dissertation on how you think I perceived my own work, then you could have at least put a return comment on my original site mail. Perhaps getting one's head out of the water a bit more, would reduce the swelling of it a bit. This site is primarily devoted to amateurs who enjoy working in various mediums and sharing their creations with others. Yes, critiques of renders are most welcome, however, back it up with work, and don't assume you know what mine or anyone else's intent was with regard to a particular render. Must one detail the description of the render so that because it included a bit of a ripple on the water, perhaps a fish jumped or a rock fell from the cliffside to cause the ripple? Again, thanks for the info you shared, it was well received; however don't try and make yourself out to be THE authority on everyone's work. Oh, and usually when one adds the comment, "I hope you don't take offense," that only tells me one is convering their own____!

Love the POV and fits in perfectly with your narrative. Excellent textures and work...

Absolutely fantastic work!!!

i like this image just how it is!!!

Amazing work.

G'Day Keith: First I gotta thank you for my morning LOL, to wit your response up thar. Ummm, I cannot tell you how much I used to get stuff like that, it's sad & makes my --- tired when certain individuals allow misguided egocentricity to govern their behavior; a case in point is the dude who named himself after the 3D software we both use. Here's a tip from my therapist days: "Lack of any reinforcement of undesirable behavior; leads to that behaviors extinction", the approach requires patience; however it's more spiritually satisfying than engaging in other's "basement behaviors". Anyways, this's excellent render & a coincidental one, which you'll appreciate later today. Hope you're having better weather than moi, I'm sick of this -37 stuff.~Stephen~

love the colors and textures ( I was just teasing you on the past comment...just so ya know :)

Very beautiful night scenery with mystical lighting and mood!!! Well done!!!

excellently done!!!!!!
