A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just (a terragen) misfit, I... ~Pink Floyd~

I had a hard time with this one. With all the water and clouds, everything was excruciatingly slow, even the preview window. I redid the surface layers umpteen times, trying to get it right. Been working on it for days. Even woke up in the middle of the night and realized I had been dreaming about positioning these bleeping surface layers, lol, hence the song lyrics. :)

I see the wrok of someone who is really dedicated to becoming a great Terragen artist. I love the sky, the water is perfect - sharp, interesting and varied. The terrain is just right and the shoreline is wonderful. The surfaces are very good, too, with lots of advanced techniques. Congratulations. I would say you have arrived! EXC.

I love the colors of the water. The beach looks a little strange imo, but the overall pic is excellent

Spectacular sky, awesome point of view..and the water, shoreline and terrain work is very impressive. The bird and pelican are wonderful touches. Outstanding work, Maria!

This is surrealistically gorgeous, Maria! Something about the swan, which you would expect to see floating in an English garden landscape, gives this a very mysterious look. Good job!
