Itīs already 3 years ago, that I did my first Neuschwanstein image. Now I want to use this scene in my demoreel, so I had to overwork everything it a little bit. Hope you like it, thanks for viewing.

Looks nice, but ... is a bit small this image ... it's really hard to see! (200x200pxl) It has to be at least ... 3 times bigger! ;)

Stunning!

To find a crit, I'd say the fog/snow in the air isn't up to the quality of the castle and mountains. Put some texture into it. Perhaps a little, transparent snow tornado here and there.

Somehow this image looks very strange. There's no depth to it an the trees next to the castle seem to be identical to those in the far background in terms of size brightness and color. The model is o.k. for what I can see from it, but everything is steril. Doesn't work for me.

Cheers

I'd like to see this given some drama or impact with a monochrome or sepia filter.

With 2 seconds in Virtual Darkroom you could emulate this famous image.....

It's a great model and I think it's missing it's full potential as a render at the moment.

Quick example of what I mean (exaggerated for effect).

I hope you don't mind.......

I'd say the grain is just hiding the fact that the textures are far to clean and unnatural. But it surely works.
