This is SO realistic! I'm thinking ... get up and move into the shade while you wait! LOL! Your lighting is perfect for portraying a stultifyingly hot day.

I can feel the utter despair and desperation of the character. The light here is spectacular and fulfills the title's name. I can feel the heat coming off those rocks. Wonderful scene. So to be so late in viewing, I'm trying to catch up, glad I didn't miss this. Excellent work.

I didn't even see the character at first, which is a compliment, because the scene itself is spectacular. It has many photographic elements---not in the way Vue tends to do, but I mean really photographic. The texture & flow of your rocks in foreground (the "framing" rocks) is quite active and sinewy, the light on the rockface in middle background is stunning, the saturated yellow-greens of the leaves is something photographers work very hard to capture---it's stunning (and I can't imagine how one has to work to get it in software)---and the light pouring through the center is a saturated, deeply bright "spill" It's a heat-render, there's no doubt, but there's something eye popping about your light in this piece; and its wonderfully modulated through leaves & rocks, etc. The palette is definitely a reddish-yellow one, the shapes that go back through the center are chiseled and almost fine abstraction, and the person in center does seem tired from the heat, but also maybe just overwhelmed by the craggy & powerful forms around him or her. I never worked with render software, and am told it's very hard, so I can only assume that you worked a long time on the shapes, light & shade---especially when the latter 2 have to modulate around leaves, rocks, etc. I think this is sensational. I get back to RR so little, to come back to this is the best. I hope all's well with you Craig, and I hope to be back here sooner than before. With work like this, it's hard not to. Terrific.
