Thanks for all your comments ! Peter Mitchell & blambert1: I fully agree with you both, the seastate around the base of the mountain needs to be addressed - actually, the scale of all the waves closer to shore needs to be smaller to marry in with the overall scene. I did attempt to paint in some waves and disturbance but realised that it would take a long time to complete the entire process. Jim Luzar: Bierstadt is one of my influences for this piece and I am impressed that someone picked up on that !! Manish D: A fair comment Manish, I am trying a number of things to bed the building in to the scene moreso including, a redesign and showing it connecting to the ground. N

Intersting shot, not sure the building works within the shot, somehow doesnt fit, maybe its the bright facade which should be in shade. Just my personal opinion.

I love the shot but the building on the right I got to agree here that it looks out of place. I thought for a moment that it was an interesting helidrome.

I think it's very inspiring. Maybe some people worry about minor details to much... shadows look fine to me. And i think Blambert; the rock outcropping is high up from the sea? So these waves would be breaking on a shore thats far below them.... which also looks fine to me. Good work.

I think people 'worrying' about minor details is kind of the point of this whole website... It is lovely to get comments which solely say "Good Job" and "Looks great", but crits help people see things they would not otherwise, I know they've helped me! Back to my point about the rocks, when looking at the image at 100% zoom, My eye was immediately drawn to the absolute lack of disturbance of water at the base of the islands, thusly, my brain was immediately told that this was a CGI. Therefore, I thought it worth mentioning. I have to reiterate that my opinion of this image is that it is fantastic overall.

Hey Niall, The building/structure you have used at the right quad is expressive, but somehow it seems the building is not feeling the lovely mood of the scene around and hence the expression coming out from it seems to be odd.[my very personal opinion..] .rest, you are the pro of the week . thumbs up. :)

Hi Niall, looks really good. The foliage and atmosphere remind me of Bierstadt. The building is a bit conspicuous in that it seems like an after thought, rather than part of the story. To me, 2 types of architecture design precedence: above ground(Corbu) and integrated(Wright). Not to emulate, but to investigate. :)

Really great. However, the waves and foam in the Lee of the rock outcropping should not be there. The rock island/headland/outcropping would create a swell 'shadow' and the ocean surface would be way calmer/flatter between the land mass and the beach. The swell might bend slightly around the island a few degrees but would be substantially diminished. Additionally, the surface conditions of the water would be calmer in the Lee of the island given the apparent wind direction. Thanks for sharing, really great and a lot of work! Brent

Nice mood and colours. I don't mind the building. Is it ok to say it kind of looks like a 'Halo' scene?! For me, I think there should be a little turbulence in the water at the the base of the islands... With the choppiness of the sea, the water would be creating waves and white wash there.

Hi Fadi, I agree - they were loosely sketched in and could do with some refining - along with alot of other areas !

Good work, however the sun rays seem to be parallel, they should be converging a bit towards the horizon.

Many thanks to CG Architect for this !! Hi Neil, I agree with you, it isn't sitting that well into the scene presently, I still need to develop the design, add more detailing to the building and adjust the colours - I have already started working up another version so will post it when I can. Thanks N

Great,I like it!!!

Superb!

I would tie balloons to my house and travel to these locations, which seems logical to me.

Thanks Krish !

Great yaar...... Great work and you also........... :)
