Hello again.

Here's a different camera angle on the ruined cgsphere - it rocks! Please
note, good people, that the only changes are the camera definition, the
absence of the grid ground plane and a slight fog to get a colour-graded
sky. The geometry is identical to the previous version.

I'm going to be more adventurous with my POV camera in future :-)

Hey,

I saw your last post for CGsphere and liked the brickwork and concept a lot.
However absolutely love the new camera angle, it really gives a wonderful
sense of scale to the whole picture! My only fear is for the poor young
lady and that seriously interesting overhanging lot of bricks on the
crumbled front of the sphere. Anyway just to say nice picture.

That's not the only stack of bricks that looks like it's seriously 
overhanging there. ;-)

Wow! This is much, much better than the classic CGSphere view, Bill!!

Indeed! Amazing!

Simple, powerful, beautiful... One of the best images I've seen in the
group.

Two comments, though:

- The flat portions of the bricks look a bit too flat.

- The girl's legs seem too long, might be the perspective.

Hmm... that wasn't the "overhang" *I* was looking at... :-.

Thanks for the comments everybody. This really was a bit of a random
experiment, I honestly didn't think of this approach until after I'd
submitted the previous version to CGSphere.com. It's my first ever use of
focal blur, too!

I might play further with this ruined motif, it wasn't too difficult to put
together. More overhangs - of the brick variety! ;-)

Yes, they are a little. Easily rectified, I'll bear that in mind for future
brick structures (and there will be!).

She does have longer legs than is completely normal, but in this case I
think it's mostly the perspective. The camera's pretty much right on the
floor.
