This is a drop dead gorgeous render! Textures are out of this world! Excellent scene! Excellent dragon and dragonrider! Bravo!

I don't get the feeling that he's got his feet firmly on the ground -- but the colors go well together with the background, and the dragon's textures are great!

Darren! This is just wonderful. Your textures are always so well done ... I Love the background too .. fantastic lights and color! Hat's off!

The dragons head is looks really good. His tail and left paw(claw?) have texture problems, though. The wing pose doesn't look right either. The background is very good, the colors are especially well done. The human looks as if he is levitating over the ground but is rather well posed. He looks as if someone he doesn't like surprised him with a camera.
