Changed the sky to something a bit more realistic (The previous one was my
poor attempt at a sunrise)

Changed the camera angle slightly

Increased the amount of surface mist.

Comments?

Quite nice! The background is just a little too grainy because of focal blur 
quality...

But... Shouldn't we see the end of the snorkel emerging? :-)

I like this better, particularly the moon and the mist. I like the sky, on

How does your Lady always catch the sword by the handle?

Er, very nice! I'm not sure if the focal blur looks right for this type of
scene, although perhaps that's just because I want to see more of the
background :-). The foreground looks great though, especially the turbulent
fog.

Lol. Monty Python I presume.

As I mentioned in the previous thread, my inspiration for this came from the
D&D game I play in.

Small secret... there's not much in the background to see. *g*
I don't often use focal blur, but I like it here.

Thanks

Thanks. I'm not sure why the banding is there. The sky is a solid colour and
2 ground fogs with very high distance

Magic.

Focal blur settings are as follows. I'm not very experienced with focul
blur. Any settings you'd suggest changing?

aperture 0.09
blur_samples 150
focal_point <13,-1.65,-2>
confidence 0.95
variance 1/256

> But... Shouldn't we see the end of the snorkel emerging? :-)

Closed-circuit. *g*

Can you see it in the original? Looks good to me.

Come on! I suppose your next subject will be the tooth fairy? :-)

I suspected that might be the case. Actually, I've looked at it a bit more
and I've changed my mind. I think the blur works well, by bringing all
attention firmly to the sword and hand, the only part of the image in
proper focus. Subtle effect, well contrived.

:-D

Sorry, I am not experienced with focal blur, too... After reading and trying 
to understand the documentation, well, I think I would try to lower the 
variance. Be prepared for a slower rendering!
