===== Wow, that's a lot of fish... ===== Probably already heard this: Try the faked caustics for that net of light effect. They look pretty good. I, however, can't tell that your scene suffers in the least from their absence. The debris was a nice(?) touch contributing to the overall realism.( Unfortunate isn't it? ) Bravo! ===== wonderful color nice concept ===== Neat image! My favorite so far! ===== I belive that the lighting effect that you are trying to get can be achived by using the caustics function in Povray. The documentation is limited at best, (here's most of it) finish { caustics POWER } but one of the demo files packaged with the 3.0 release demonstrates exactly what you want. ===== Very nice image, except the boat looks like its about to sink. :-) ===== I am quite sure I already voted for this image. ===== This picture has an original idea and its set up very nicely, as a stupid question how the hook and the line can do that floating as there is no cork (or somethin that floats)? ===== Beautiful scene, very good sense of space in the underwater world. I liked everything about this scene except the shape of the fish, and the darkness of their fins and mouths. Their color, texture, and positioning were all excellent, though. Loved the sign! ===== I really enjoy looking at this one. An image to cool off a hot summer day! This is well balanced, interesting, with a nice choice of colors and textures. I had to ding you a point on what you admitted was missing yourself, the light-play on the submersed objects and fish, and another point for too little vegetation on the lake floor. Otherwise, this is one of my favorites! ===== nice underwater haze effect! ===== For the "net of light" effect, look up caustics - it's faked, of course, but it does work fairly well. ===== One of the very best pictures I saw so far. Really perfect are the worm in the foreground and the boot in the middleground. Fascinating point of view. GratS!!! ;)) ===== Maybe it's just me, but that worm in front doesn't "feel" close enough to warrant its size. It hits me like a blotch on an otherwise great pic. Good fish-eye view. ===== Very good underwater scene. You actually eat those fish? ===== very creative perspective (pun) Should have added sign saying "No sign-reading allowed" :> ===== One of my favorites! Peaceful, cool look.
