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.

Hi Bob, I have downloaded your last 3 renders and adjusted them in Photoshop with a curves and shadow/highlight adjustment layer with noticeable results in depth,contrast and color enhancement.You might want to give it a try and see if you like the results.

@ abreojos - thanks Joe; but, I've tried this and find that the results are usually too unreal. There are enough tools in Terragen to create realism.

Yes, reminds me of Sedona. The wife and I spent the night there in an inn not far from Bell Rock. Sure would love to go back...

Excellent!!! The addition of the grass in the foreground gives it that much realism and the populations worked out nicely. Beautiful piece of work all round Bob.

the surface of the mountain riminds me of the steps of a pyramide, maybe there is one hidden under the rocks ;o)
