Midnight Dream River

[The_Olorin]

Yea, i know its another monochromatic picture, but i cant help it, i have weakness against this kind of pictures, so i made another one. Inspire came from Canon calender 2011 "Symphony of Colors" where there was very good fotographic picture made from Tuolumne river at sundown.

Picture:

You may ask why is there so thick fog at right, well its made like this, so it would look like fog is coming from right.
Comments, critisism, ideas are welcome.

Well, the worst thing is the river edges..
Try to make them little smoother, and maybe some water ripples?

Edit: Noticed the ripples just now, but something is still amiss.

The sky's reflection in the water doesn't look good. But you can't help it I guess. Some of the trees could use reflection and the blackness in the bottom right is annoying and the waves kind of ruin it. Other then that I like it.

Sorry, not at all as appealing as the last one.

The least appealing, apart from the mentioned river edges, is the overall lighting.
The glow models looks quite randomly placed and spammed. The clouds are also quite spammed I'd say.

Overall it doesn't look incredibly crappy, just a little off.
Also, I hope you won't resort to making only silhouette terrains. They do look good, but they are quite easily made boring if you see too many of them.

Ok i try to change the edges, but need to think way to make them more smoother, cause atm i used rock models for that..

Sadly yes i cant change the view of water reflection. I will see what i can place in the bottom left.

Well im not happy also with the outcome but i had necessity to make an another one of this type of picture. But seems you can make everything as great as the others are, right? xD Glow models are actually not spammed i placed most of them with thoughs( with not very good one seems xD). And if you can call 2 clouds model as spam, then yes it is an spam. And noi wont continue to just make thse kind of pictures, just had a interest atm, but not anymore.

Thanks everybody for comments.
