I am a developing artist working on improving my abilities to create beautiful digital landscape compositions. Without the help and suggestions of the many fellow artists in this community, it would be a long time before I reach the next level.
BIO
I am a retired procurement professional who has long had an interest in photography and painting; and, lately in computers and photorealistic natural landscapes. I hope to become more proficient and perfect my abilities to produce acceptable work. My experience in art started at a very early age when I would spend many hours sketching and painting. I had instruction at The Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois. I did some freelance work for Flying Models, Model Airplane News and Top Flite Models creating plans and illustrative construction sequences for magazines and kit models. I had spent more than 20 years designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes...a very rewarding hobby for me. During the 1970s, I spent 11 years in the hobby of "bonsai"; the Japanese art of miniature trees. In my first 7 tree entry in a contest, all 7 trees were awarded ribbons in various categories. Japanese landscaping became a passion for me where I completed a 3 year project creating a Japanese landscape around my home in Oak Forest, Illinois. I also did this work for several other people in our community. In 1987 I moved to Phoenix, Arizona where I currently make my home. The love of the American southwest and all its beauty is where I wanted to spend the rest of my life. Now that we have computers, digital cameras; and, Terragen; I'll have enough to do for a long, long time.

Wonderful composition and realism, Bob!!! Fantastic lighting!!!

@hillrunner: yes, the lighting set up; the atmospheric set up; the lower right cumulus clouds; the terrain; the point of view; and, the composition. Does that answer your question? If not, send me a list and I'll put together some tips for you to follow.

Don't know how you "clipped" the distribution of the plants (my guess is a mask and I have no clue beyond that) but that's what caught my eye. Also the altocumuli (clouds) are spot on! And don't take that 7th comment too seriously - he don't like us too much anymore, I suppose... Shoot, can't blame ya - I'll borrow whatever I can use.

Hillrunner used to be one of the Premier TG artists here, before he and his friends started the French Revolution and had to leave the country ;^) Guess he is back trying to stir-up a new revolt, tehehe!!! I like the wide open feel to this render Bob. The lighting and clouds are fit just perfect in this scene and compliment the plants very well, Nice work!!!!!
