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.

I like a lot this version. Superb lighting and water!
fractalinda
The lighting couldn't be better here. This original version is pristeen and superb. I also loved the postworked version; I think the clouds take it over the top. Both outstanding!
Costaud
Wow, that's a masterpiece.

I must go back to look at the other one again...but I like this one....so crisp, so real!

prutzworks
really nice work Bob
Markal
Thanks Bob for both views...I'm a firm believer in some post work. Terragen is excellent but, not perfect. TG can be tweaked and fine tuned to make a super image but with only some minor Post work it becomes an awesome, most excellent image as you and Jay have shown :)
Rich2
I hardly notice the difference between the two, knowing it's the clouds, all the same a masterful work!
sanosoke

Fahrenheit451

Martchi

joshus_hund
To be honest: I prefer this one! I am not a real tg purist, but maybe it's just because of the warmer colours here. Super water, super fine render!
Dotthy
It is also wonderful, I prefer this one because the colours are more intensive. Excellent+10 work Bob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
padawancats
Oh, I love the mood in this one!

This is a great render with very minor differences with the previous one. Nonetheless i still like the previous one more!
