The memory of a beautiful scene tends to exaggerate the key points, trees are taller, valleys are deeper, vistas are wider, and the moon is bigger. I used a telescopic photo of the moon to get more detail.

Visit this fantasy golf course for some extreme golf. be careful, this is an un-fairway.

This one went through several settings, and two horses before I finally had a finished image I was happy with. The horse was created in Poser, but I did a bit of tweaking, as I wasn't fond of the default horse.

The valley and balcony were rendered in two separate 3d programs, and assembled in Photoshop

The results of my first experiments with a new 3d terrain program I just discovered. The moon was added in Photoshop.

I planned on adding a subject to this one, a rowboat, or a swimmer, but I liked the starkness, and anything I tried seemed to detract from that.

I really like how this one turned out. It's become one of my favorites.
I used to include something unrealistic in all the realistic scenes, something to find if you studied the image. This one is in the needles of the pine trees.

Watch out for the natural inhabitants.
