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.

A wonderful scene! Like everything about it.

One of the better waterscapes I've seen and the rocks are great. But there's something about that ship that doesn't quite fit. Maybe the shading on it??
grafikeer
Great water and lighting,as well as POV.Is it me,or is the ship sitting too high in the water? A minor crit to a great image!

Amazing composition, Bob!!!
AzzViper
Very nice rendering. Is there some reason the ship is not deep enough in the water? I have tried Terragen and I know manipulating objects is not easy.
Nod
Very nice indeed. The ship is definitely too high in the water.

Great scene

Just one little tweak of criticism....The Tall Ship needs to be lower in the water as the under hull should be below the water line..Other than that it's an Excellent Scene!...(smiles)...
X-PaX
Excellent render.

From the arid deserts to a water-filled scene; lot's of beauty in the simplicity of the elements.

I agree with others, the ship should be lower. Also, the hull color is a bit unnatural, maybe a bit less color saturation. The rest of the scene is positively breathtaking! I'd really love to see this with the ship corrected!
