Skyscape - Gold Sky

This is something I pumped out using Vue, did post work in combustion. I'm not sure if I gave it too much contrast or not yet. My main goal for this isn't necessarily photoreal but more stylistic while not straying too far away from believable. Some of the spectral clouds are grainy, this is fixed by just upping the quality slider on one option but it moved render times to 18 hours + so that will wait for the final render. Anyways, let me know what you guys think! Once I have the atmosphere set I will try to toss in a falcon or something

yea, i have been attempting to figure out a good way to get some white caps for the waves and improve it a bit. I haven't had any great results yet, but I'm gonna keep trying and hopefully post an update of the water tomorrow.

I really like this, but the title and credits really draws attention away from the scene. I must suggest a more subtle approach in the future.

for a start definately lose the flare

the rest of the image is great though, what I'd fix would be the colour - the high altitude clouds should be more pink, and I'd modify the sky colour to a more realistic hue, at the moment it's the colours that scream cg but the rest is quality

I pity the fool!
