Hi all,

Attached is a picture I made a few weeks ago with MegaPOV. I like the
pool and girl, but I don't like the room. The picture missess some,
there should be something inthe background, but I have no clue at all
what. Any suggestions are welcome. The trees are made by Neil Alexander
for one of his IRTC entry (nature).

Thanx

Thomas

ps. YES, she IS naked :)

The pool is great, so are the reflections on the ceiling !
The girl, well, she is not my cup of tea ... :-)

IMO the left wall needs some structure, you could add some plant in a
pot, the tree(s?) look a bit blurred.

Have you tried the mirrors not in a line but in slightly cylindrical
form?
I'm not sure about the effect, but I think it's worth trying.

I have  been thinking about that, actually I would like to have some kind of
small tree next to wall, but I have know clue how to make a tree that doesn't
interfere with the wall.

You mean in a round shape  (half round) I have thought about it but I haven't
tried, I may try that some time.

Perhaps a small metal table with drinks on it would look good next to the
pool. Maybe a skylight would be good to draw more light into the scene. A
towel rack might be another thing you would see next to a pool.
The pool itself is excellent. How did you get the bricks to follow the edge
like that? The woman looks good as well.

The nicest thing is to think that the girl is close to the watcher ...
The walls could be more textured (Kachel (german), what is the english word
for this?).

The Babel Fish tells me kachel is "page frame", sounds like a html thing to
me.
I was thinking the walls were too much of a neutral gray.  You usually don't
see such walls unless it's a prison, well maybe not these days though.

Try to play with lightning. Now it is lit too uniformly (look at this
wall in the left). I'd suggest spot lights in various directions, which
will make it more hmm, "romantic". Or try to decrease ambience.

The bricks are done with Chris Colefax Spline include file. It took a lot of
testing to get it right. I would like to do the cut out on the floor tles that
way as well, but I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the suggestions.

  Hi, Thomas. IMO you might put something in the foreground near the
blank wall. There aren't enough shadows in this scene to reference where
the light source is. You might place another tree or possibly a
sculpture of some sort adjacent to the wall to balance out the picture.
To me, the rest of the scene looks good, especially the pool and the
ceiling caustics.
