From then and now I try pretty frequently to create realistic looking nature and forest scenes.
So the last couple days I’ve been working on a new project where I tried to achieve my goal.
For this I added a bunch of new plants, trees and so on to my library of nature assets Ive created already.
Well, the road-kill animal on that roadway is a little bit unsettling … :spin:
The only constructive comment that I would make is that, if you pulled a histogram on this image, you would find featureless blacks (lower-left corner) and overexposed light areas (god-beams near tree trunk, surface of road, dead animal). I think that you would also find a general color-cast.
A little bit of levels-adjustment and possibly color-correction, perhaps done “in post,” would improve the shot. (Basically, the burning-and-dodging that a printmaker might do in a physical darkroom.)
There is a really big problem with this picture I forgot to mention. The animal in the pic is a lion. Lions don’t live in jungles. They live in open savannah.
Thats on purpose, further more, its not a jungle, its a forest like u got them in Germany. I wanted to make the viewer wonder why there is a dead lion in the western forest.
