White Mountain Pathby *ArthurBlue

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Scenes / Landscapes

I do like to make paths in forests. I'm not sure why, but there seems to be an inherent mystery to a path in a dark forest. Maybe it awakes some of our primeval instincts...

Here's some of my forest paths made over the last 2 or 3 years:

As always, rendered in Vue.

STUNNING!

Another lovely piece of work with great composition that keeps the eye and mind busy.

Incredible!! I love the glowing city in the distance, and the composition with the trees, and how the light filters through. However, I think the puddle in the middle of the pathway throws the composition off a little; because it is centered, it draws attention away from the child and the city. If you cropped the image up to the bottom of the foliage on the left it would help put more attention on the child, but also keep some of that puddle in there. Either that, or move the puddle over to the sides. Brilliant piece of work, regardless!

Thanks! My intention with the puddle was to act as a kind of a pointer. Being on the foreground, I knew most eyes would look at it with some attention and then I hoped they'd follow its line, to "find" the kid and the city. That was my hope, I have no way of knowing if I succeeded or not.

Moving it to the side was not an option for me in this case because it would somehow disrupt the symmetry of the overall image, which was one of my key intentions. Symmetry normally brings some kind of peace and rest to the eyes (at least to mine), and I wanted it here, to enhance the mood I wanted to achieve.
Believe me, I do think a lot in the composition when I'm making an image. I do multiple experiments, in some cases I juxtapose the image with the Fibonacci spiral and/or with the usual guidelines (diagonals, triangles, rule of thirds). But a composition is a highly subjective thing and it's hard to know when we get it right. One thing is sure, though: it will never please everyone.

True, and in this case I think it is in the right spot, but there seems to be just a little too much lower half. Any way, excellent work, and I look forward to seeing more!!
