I know, daft title !

I had a request for four images (three were to be used) here's the one that was rejected because the water wasn't "rippled" enough.

The water was like a good whiskdy

I love the picture

Great work us usual, is the scale off with the ship, it seems it should be much bigger?

Richard

OMG, look at the detail there! Great stuff mate, would love to see this image post edited to age it.

tadema

Thank you HvanEsen, maybe the water would look better after a lot of Whiskey

Thanks Richard, I will age the buildings, my original plan was for a night scene ! Jack the Ripper streets. Let's see how it evolves.

Thanks Liam, you don't miss a trick It's 50% scale so as not to dominate the scene, the old girls 227.5 ft in-reality. I may try again as above

Wow !!

The building in the right is a bit too clean for the overall scene, imo.
The signs from the left building are flipped.

Thank you Elisei, there's no getting anything past you folks . I flipped the image at the last minute and never gave the signs a thought, it does show that the images do get examined.

Standard aging filter and border

N'owt so good as magic. this is magic mate.

Daniel

fantastic job, John.
Is the scene modeled from actual buildings?

chedda

Great detail John, maxwell sea is a great modifier if you ever feel like converting

tadema

Thanks Mike.

Daniel the two main buildings were modeled from Streetview, situated in one of the oldest parts of town built maybe very late 1800's: we have a vast amount of relics to chose from here

Thanks Simon, posted simultaneous !

I've heard a lot of good things about Maxwell, it was my own daft fault for rushing things.

Next time I'm asked for bumpy water believe me it will have as many lumps'n'bumps in it as the wife's thermal vest

Wonderful images! Great work on the buildings--serious attention to detail and composition.

So you modeled that whole ship too? The row boat or what you call it is fine as well. So much to enjoy in this scene!
