Fall is kind of a spiritual time...its a time of renewal when everything around us changes, and all of nature's beauty bursts' out in a celebration of rich & vibrant colors. Re-treating to her secret place high above the hill top away from the crowds, she leans against her favorite tree to take a moment to reflect and enjoy the splendor of Autumn's vibrant colors and hues. I wanted to do something outside the norm, so I chose to leave the bottom of the picture in grayscale to illustrate that Fall is made up not only of vibrant hues, but also dark grays. It also helps in making the Fall foliage the focal point of the image, which happens to also be her focal point. Her state of mind has turned off full perception of everything around her, except for this magical moment in nature. Character designed with Poser, further enhancement in Cinema 4D. Environment was created in Vue. Leaves and hair painted using Photoshop CS4. Previous Work: "Surrender"
