jensandersen Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Studio/Institution: Personal workGenre: OtherSoftware: 3ds max, vray and PSDescription: Hi I cant decide if I want trees on this small personal project or not. Any input on yes/no and if yes, should I change placement/shape/size etc? Thank you. /Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heni30 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I prefer no trees - the container stands out nicely. The box is no longer the center of attention when you add trees. If you did have them, I would have the foreground tree be less imposing and not have the smaller tree be dead center on the box. The figure looks stiffish and is distracting. Some people sitting on the chairs would work better I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hunt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'd yes to a tree, only one and smaller behind the container and a much wider composition to emphasize the wide open space of the field. Of these two versions without the tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blank... Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) One more yes to the the trees. With them i wonder what is behind the camera and where does that path leads... Without them, it just a container, burning in the sun. Edited September 8, 2014 by blank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil poppleton Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Keep the tree top left but lose the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Beaulieu Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm with Dario and Neil. Yes to the tree just behind the camera, but maybe a less ominous one. Let more light through so it isn't so dark and heavy. I think this will give more life to the image without detracting from your hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 To me it all depends of whats your story, with no tree it feels like a big wide space, the composition if perfect no need to add anything else, if you put the big trees by the house, it seems you had a chooses a bad location to build your house, why so close of those trees. The foreground tree it is "so 80's" so Architect. to me this image is all about space, and a foreground tree really shrink the space it really kill the warm-solitude feeling that a giant plateau image you get from the first one. Also the foreground tree it is so dark that deviate the main point of view, that should be the house. reference images are always a good help, check this ones, not the same theme, but similar comcept. no need of foreground tree here to say there is somesing behind the canvas. http://www.wilcoxgallery.com/Artists/Kapp,%20Gary/GK-0032_BuckMountainCampLg.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8g-gkqt8GzY/T57RW8SLpjI/AAAAAAAAE_A/9CYVxwoKlU4/s640/Gary+Kapp+tr+art+8.jpg http://www.socwall.com/images/wallpapers/36161-1280x1024.jpg http://www.wilcoxgallery.com/Artists/Kapp,%20Gary/GK-0033_ReturnOfTheHunterLg.jpg http://www.wilcoxgallery.com/Artists/Kapp,%20Gary/GK-0022_StoneFortressLg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelStutt Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) All depends on what feeling you are trying to protray - sense of isolation or sense of quality of life. When I really get interested in archvis images is when they show something exciting like some imaginative architecture, unusual light, unusual environmental effects that take work like rain, snow, wind etc, great texturing or a fantastic mood/story. Protraying a mood whilst still evocatively highlighting the architecture is a difficult balance to achieve but showing the architecture is the most important thing in any archvis image, rather than just doing some 'art for art's sake'. So if I was to improve this image in terms of for portfolio use, I would improve the architecture to something a bit more interesting rather than just a box,I might select more dramatic lighting such as overcast light with a rainbow or something in the background, and I might show a couple walking in the field or something for an intersting 'storyline' hook, then maybe compose it so that the image is wider to reflect the openness/bleakness of the landscape more, maybe add some wind effects, or something in the foreground like some wheat with an insect on it or whatever might also spice it up. But the main thing is the architecture so that should be perhaps lit be a beam of sunlight or whatever in an otherwise dark moody landscape etc. Hope this has helped and not been too negative but I get fed up with seeing arty farty images on this site that having nothing much to do with protraying architecture!

Fooch Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 no trees .. yes to ducks and a marsupial at foreground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensandersen Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Right, so I've tried adding a few deers (as they are plentyful in the enviroment where I took the vegetation shots and not scared getting close to people). I also tried adding a young couple, but I think I'll just leave them out...(this might turn in to a people or no people thread now?) Oh, I also did one for you Nigel. Hope it pleases. (I get what you are saying, though this was a quick project to try out alot of vegetation shots I took). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hunt Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I still feel that a much wide composition would work even better, really express the open field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
