Not much to say really, just something I've been working on on-and-off
for the last several months

Need to add a cloud of mist outside and change the sun to something a
bit more real.

Comments?

Nice composition. I really like this.
I agree that a cloud of mist would be great, but how far down is the bottom?

Great water! (code???   please...)

Thanks.
Bill

Hmmm, haven't thought about that. Probably quite some way. I still need
something
there, otherwise it looks like the river just disappears.

Thanks. The water code is adapted from code I found elsewhere, can't
remember where.
If anyone recognises this code, please let me know so I can credit properly

#declare T_Water =
 texture {
  pigment { rgbf <0.975,0.975,1,0.8> }
  finish { reflection { 0 0.85 } diffuse 0.025 specular 0.3
conserve_energy }
 }

#declare F_Water= function { pigment { granite turbulence 0.2 scale
<1,1,4>*5 } }

isosurface {
 function
{y-f_noise3d(x,y,z)*0.075-f_noise3d(x*3,y*3,z*3)*0.05+F_Water(1.5*x,1.5*y,1.
5*z).gray*0.1+0.65 }
 contained_by { box { <-2.1,-15,-30> <2.1,1,20> } }
 accuracy 0.001
 max_gradient 4.5
 texture { T_Water }
 interior { ior 1.33 media { absorption <0.35,0.35,0.25> } }
 hollow
}

Beautiful. Good composition and atmosphere.

Is that color Dusty Rose?  I've gotten away from using colors.inc now 
but I was addicted to that color.  Used to add a little to nearly every 
texture.

The atmosphere is good, the way the columns hoover just in view.  The 
brink of a waterfall is one of the great visceral concepts and you have 
complicated it, housing the water until it breaks free only to fall. 
The water is outbound, the light inbound.  The alignment of the sun with 
the filigree is slightly obsessive.

No, I don't think so... the water looks like a solid frozen mass of mud - it
definitely needs more
reflectivity!

But that is often true.  Water looks like frozen mud, sometimes lava, in 
many photographs.  She's using reflection ( 0, .85 ).  That is already a 
lot.  Maybe you mean transparency?  But she uses filter .8 and diffuse 
.025, already very transparent.  I believe it is the character of the 
texture which gives it a slightly molten or melted look, like in photos 
where the shutter speed is a little low.  But this is about the best we 
are getting for the effect of choppy water in POV these days.

It's a modified version of one of the standard stones textures. I don't
generally
use named colours other than the basics

My original idea had a boat on the river, I may still add that in

<grin> I'll probably move it later

Thanks a lot!
I'll let you know if it works for me.

If the water doorway  opened onto a craggy narrow fissure of some sort,
you might be able to get away with having a rainbow in the air without it
being trite. Maybe a flying buttress for scale. Did I mention I like 
this one?

Thanks again,

Bill
