Default The Calm Before the Storm

I took some time to make adjustments to my original lighthouse piece, and made a new image. Model made in max, and rendered with VRAY, post work done in Photoshop. C&C welcome.

very nice image. the lighting and sky really tell a story about what's to come.

i am not sure about the window glass. i think it feels to opaque or to reflective. ...also, the overall image composition. maybe try options that either follow the rule of thirds, or simply move your view point to the right. i think that might create an interesting dialog between the building and the source of the sun, without actually ever seeing the sun.

From ChooChoo's comment I would like to second – Wow!

And I agree with crazy homeless guy's spot on comments.

Your piece has a very painterly feel and it evokes much emotion. Really nice job.

That is definitely a guy place.

Hello neighbor! Very nice - I really like the water. My comment would be that the building is too perfect. The materials make it look really old and rustic, but the pickets in the railing are 100% perfect, etc. Loose a few pickets, or rotate couple of them a degree or few, so on.

Second, and this is a general reminder for everyone - please be careful when posting such high-resolution images on a public forum like this. Your image needs, at bare minimum, a logo. A watermark would be even better.

Agree with this. Image looks great, but when I zoomed in, the pickets do look too perfect. Unless they have just been replaced of course..
