pool front

This just isn't working. It's mostly the lighting. But the composition is set up to block you from getting into the scene. You have built a barrier with the back of a bench, pot and plant. They say 'stay out!' Then, even if you ignore that and get in, your view of the pool is chopped up by the second bench. Move the bach seating to the right, allow us to see the pool and have some room to 'stand' in. The front bench should go completely. Then the pot and plant can be framing.

 

The lighting--that ocean background is great, but think about the sort of sun you have when you see those bands of green and purple--strong sunlight. So where is that with your foreground? You want shade, but not weak light. I think your horizon is a little low. It should be at your eye height (camera height in 3D app).

 

Finally, the rug needs those ripples to be scaled way down. They are good, but too big. Just a touch adds realism.

 

The picture has great promise, you're just not done yet.

wow man thanks for the detail c&c..i actually got the set up from a magazine piece i saw.."that's how i learn some of my scene compostions"...

 

the set up is very spacious i think the camera angle just gives the view that it's closed off but it's actually a large covered patio and that are with the chiars are covered

 

i know it's still a work in progress so i'll see what i can do to make it better and keep posting....

 

how would u aproach the lighting to match the background..

 

-will there be hard shadows?

-will the sun light color or scene be a darker orange?

 

just some help to tweak my foregrouind to match my background.:D

I like the last one best, only i think the bump on the floor is much too strong, perhaps a bit shiny would look better. Als a little beveled edge on the beams might help.

And the hanging lamps look a little out of place, if there's a strong ocean wind...

 

but hey, great image!

Yes I think that looks much better.

 

Just a bit uncomfortable with the perspective of the hand rails on the right so I ran a few lines to test the perspective.

I think it is nearly there but the horizon line of the model is a little out to the image.

 

Have a look and see what you think.
