I had to do a double take when i saw this picture because it looks exactly like the place i used to go running through every saturday morning. It's beautiful and i had to download it just for the memory because that place burned in the California fires a few years ago...

This is actually my favorite wallpaper :) Every single time I log onto my computer I love to see the relaxing cool colors jump out at me. I'm not much of a critic, but this has the richest and most soothing contrast I've ever seen in a IFL wallpaper.

Thanks everyone..

This really makes me want to go and continue work on my game engine :) Beautiful rendering :)

Personally, I think that 3D renders are often far superior to photographs when used as background wallpapers. This is very nice and his other works are even better. I can appreciate the art in this far more than some over processed sunset photo. Cheers.

I think it in part depends on person's mood how they will see a picture. One day I can look at the same picture and really like it and other time extreme opposite. For me this work really made my day, besides the reason that i'm craving for some sun here in Pacific NW :-)

It feels like I'm looking at a painting. Finally, something that's not another sunset or water shot. Good job. :)

Constructive criticism always welcome, thanks..

I thought that I would try to share some "constructive criticism," as I have not really seen any in the reviews fo this image thus far. I'm a photographer, and I normally don't care too much for Vue rendered scenes, but this one caught my eye. It reminds me of the areas around my home in central Alabama, and I like that in this image. Now if Richard intended for this image to not replicate a photograph, then these don't apply, but if that was his intention, then these are my qualms: 1.) The leaves in the center of this image that jut out in front of the sky seem too "squashed." I find that the majority of the leaves look quite real, but those in that section just look 2D to me. 2.) The tree limbs and trunk in the upper left corner look too "chiseled." They need to be rounded a bit more, and the detail in the bark could use some more definition. The color differences seem to be a little too oval shaped to look natural. 3.) The land slope between the two trees on the left side comes to a sharp cutoff, and that makes it seem unnatural, so maybe try rounding it more by playing with the shadows and coloring. 4.) Incorporating other shades of brown into the pathway would have made the image just pop a little more for me. Other than that, I really like work. It is far, far better than anything I could have ever done on the computer, and I encourage Richard to keep at it. One final blurb, I think people should be able to comment freely about images even if they may not appear to have submitted anything. I have submitted several pieces, but none have ever been chosen to be included on the website, and I imagine that there are many other reviewers who are in the same boat. However, I do feel that people should explain why they don't like an image instead of just saying that they do not like it. And @Chris Ginn, I happen to love sunsets, and never get tired of seeing a beautiful one, so submit all that you want! And @Richard Mohler, please do submit more!

To those who misunderstood what I said, I did not mean that those who do not submit should not comment on submissions. It just irks me that some of them are the biggest critics of artists' work. That is all I meant. Thanks.

This photo would have been accepted a little better if there was a more detailed description of what you were trying to accomplish first, not that many even do read the info panel or know what Vue is. My first ride through was not the most pleasing but after sitting back and looking at this from a different perspective I can see it for what you wanted us to see. This site has a lot of straight photography shots and I do notice quite an uproar when a shot is enhanced. Most of those as well didn't explain what they were trying to do. You have some great submissions so never give up and do it for yourself. As for the people that feel no comments should be made unless you submit, where would the world be without critics. It offers a different perspective of what another person sees through their eyes. That is why there is a forum to discuss a submission. An artist should never take it personally because only they know what they see in any given art form. Take what people say and use it or not in the future, it can only broaden your own artistic level. There are people that are just plain rude and nasty, those are the ones that should be ignored. Never Give Up!

So many ingrate a-holes roaming around on here...it's a shame that their impotence could threaten a staple of this site from creating anymore work. Talk about unfair to Richard and the many many people who have thoroughly enjoyed his work over the years. People hide their derision behind the concept of constructive criticism, but actual constructive criticism has long been absent from the comments on here.

Thanks everyone..If I come up with something nice I might try again..

Hey Richard, listen to Chris Gin. Talk about someone who has credibility...

Well, shoot. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times... At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I echo what WhiteDog and Lenegal said. Don't believe me? Look at the comments that I have made on the last, say, thousand wallpaper submissions on IFL. It is making me crazy that *most* of the people around here want photographs and anything outside of the box gets panned. While I disagree slightly with Lenegal's request that only submitted artists can make criticisms (that would leave me out) I applaud the sentiment. I suppose that I am only commenting here to stay consistent. Let's see more digital creations like this one! In my opinion, this looks great! I love fantasy prints, and the quality of your workmanship is outstanding. I live in the real world. Boring! Give me more fantastical shots!
-
I also don't think you should stop submitting Richard (although I know how you feel, I have a whole lot of sunsets that I've refrained from submitting because people seem to be sick of them). My only suggestion would be to do more fantasy stuff like Bergs which people won't try and compare to photos.

@Richard Mohler, don't let the carpers chase you away. I don't submit here, but I love this site because of the beautiful wallpaper. What irritates me to no end is those who do not submit photos and nitpick a photo apart. Makes me want to leave. Also, criticism should be constructive by those who do submit photos. But much of what comes from others' computers screens in negative criticism says more about the poster than the wallpapers that are chosen from the Loupe. Turn the other cheek.
