Hidden Kingdom

Made with Bryce

I thought i'd try doing some underwater activity under my tropical styles of water. Thought it came out pretty nice except personally I feel something's missing, but can't put my finger on it.

Good idea with the temple The spikey things are seaweed I believe, but shadowing has made it look odd. A temple on the islands sounds good, I could try it out, and since my images aren't really focused on realism but more fantasy and standing out, I could give it a try(but quickly, I leave for vacation in 6 hours!). As for the camera position, yes, it was VERY tricky, and since there's a water plane and a landscape terrain beneath it, placing rocks, seaweed and the puffer fish at a good angle was frustrating, but I got through :)

something is missing? I think this is your best pic yet! this might replace your "undiscovered land" as my desktop. as for the missing aspect, mabey more haze? it seems to clear for the cloudy skies in the tropics. and what are those spikey things in the front? Nice job!

Yes You've got the scale there and the effect, that must have been tricky. Maybe for more realism you should tone it down a bit but that's not a requirement for a good pic just something to try for if you've got time on your hands. I think some kind of temple on the island set into the mountain side in that valley would look good, add a bit of focus, something like out of The Last Crusade or one of the Sinbad films, something to take advantage of the sense of scale you've got going for you there, something grandeose. Nice pic.

2 worlds Great underwater variety. I particularly like the view of the wet and the dry world. I've tried once to have the upper part of the camera above and the lower below the surface, like a scuba divers view when he hits the surface, but Bryce wont let you do that. I think, what you've done here is as close as it can get.

Hell ya I love the blue! =) Awesome picture. If anything is missing.. its gunna be by the shore.. don't know what but something there... I think it might be too sudden. :) But still awesome.
