This has proved to be unbelievable tricky. I'm not really happy with this
and have another version which I think will be better but I would like to
gather your comments anyway.

Yes, indeed it looks both unbelievable and tricky. Lovely concept and
presentation.
I think you should move the wave center away from the image.
And also perhaps work a bit on the stone texture.
Source will be appreciated...

Orignally ther was to be an object rising out of the sea and I may well put
it in at a later date - the idea of moving the wave is a good one, I'll try
it

The stone texture has dissapeared with the jpg compression!!! I'll rough it
up a bit!

together! but when I am sorted I'll post it

Looks great to me. Only thing that bothers me a little is the secondary
lighting. It might be more dramatic with more contrast between the
illuminated area of the rock and the shadows.

I like the rock formation it reminds me of something Roger Dean(Yes
album covers)might do.

Well, the water ripples seem to eminate from one point that if very clearly
seen, and the right hand leg of the portal looks like it gets too small to
support it, but it looks cool. The clouds seem to "zoom" too much, tho.

Nice. I don't see how that "moon" could be illuminating this side of the rock
formation, so another one present off-camera?
Anyway, I like the soap film look to the portal.

Actually, Bobs mention of hte moon got me thinking... maybe one moon outside
the portal and another one inside?

Ooh! Aah! How was the rock made?
The only part I don't like is the rock texture; although it does contrast
nicely colorwise. I don't know what to do with it, but keep the same colors.

Why don't you really make it a portal? Has the portal pigment patch
made it into MegaPOV yet? If so, it's worth checking out.

I think tricky is the operative word here.
Comments?
Move the water 'HF' back in the z plane.
Change the arches colour to brown or even black, now!
NTL (NoneTheLess) an image to get lost in.
Nice job, per usual.

Because those portals won't transmit light, as I understand it. That
is, a light on one side of the portal won't illuminate the other side.

Very nice.
*I* like the wave in the center. I think it adds drama.
The 2 skies look too much alike to my taste.
The gate in itself is fantastic.
Too bad the sea reflects the same lighting/sky everywhere. But I know of
know way of solving this without image compositing. er... maybe with Megapov
light groups (nver tried this feature myself)?
Povingly,
Philippe

Or perhaps projected_through, which was designed for just such an
occasion.

You could try the vampire method, You could have a triangular copy of
the sea behind the portal, and have that only reflect light from within
the portal and have the outer light shine on the outer sea.
There are some good demonstrations of the vampire method in the scene files
groups.
