Thank you indeed, Robert. No, for the moment I do not plan a higher
resolution. I am content with the image as is and the render would block my
other projects for too long. But who knows? a moment of low creativity might
trigger it :-)

Thank you indeed, Dave! Sam's fog is a great macro for this kind of scene. I
added a scattering media (type 5) with density to complete the scene.

A very evocative image; and I do like that fog. I also love the 'widescreen'
aspect ratio; it really makes the scene stand out.
I actually didn't know what 'hoplite' meant until seeing your WIPs and looking
it up on-line! The shield is a work of art.

Very nice!
The colour scheme makes it look like he's on Mars, which is an interesting
coincidence because I'm currently reading Dan Simmons' "Olympos", the sequel to
"Ilium". Ancient Achaeans on Mars is something that occurs in the plot...
Will this warrior be making a return in future work? It seems a shame to put all
that effort into the modelling to have him half-hidden by fog and distance :)

You've conveyed a wonderful sense of mood in this work, Thomas. I'm glad the
textured fog worked out as well as it did. I was expecting a much larger final
image, but I can understand about wanting to move on to other projects (and not
wishing to be tied down by a long render).
Great work on the model, but it's a shame that most of his details are lost :(

Spot on!! The scene *was* inspired by "Ilium" and "Olympos" indeed. It seems
that I have got the evocation right :-)

I agree. Like several of my figures, he is likely to come back one way or
another. However, the modelling of the panoplia was an interesting exercise
in itself too (still not entirely finished) which stretched my Poser
possibilities to their limits. I need to model better sandals, using
conforming clothes strategies instead of dynamic ones like I prefer. That
means a more serious incursion into Poser's Setup Room.

Thank you, Kenneth. I have a preference for those ratios....:-)

Well, hoplite is not a word we tend tu use every day ;-) I like to increase
my knowledge through renders as a pretext, or inversely to apply my
knowledge to renders. In both cases there is always some research to do
which is highly stimulating.

I am not much of an *inventor* myself, so I am always glad to use the smart
macros others have wrought. Your textured fog is a particularly nice
addition to the collection indeed. Only the figure does not participate in
its use because otherwise the washed out effect was too great.
I am not feeling enough incentive to wait for a larger render :-/ but that
may change if a go through a period of lesser productivity.

I agree. Be certain that I shall have him come back! ;-)

Dead right - the connection popped into my head as soon as I saw the image. I
just thought it was too great a coincidence that you produced this image just as
I happened to be reading that book!
Now, how about some moravecs and "gods" ? :D
(in a new setting, obviously, I wouldn't want you to clutter this lovely
atmospheric image:)

It is an idea I shall keep in mind :-)
And Mars has been terraformed, so even my image is not absolutely correct...
;-)
