This looks great Jason! For first time out I would say excellent! I cant really critique not being familiar with it, but sure looks good to me! ~Dan

I am speechless. I tried a little CG landscaping....I came up with some really weird towering glaciers and haven't been back since. This is breathtaking!

I think it's good for the first time as well. My only dislike is the frame tends to over power the main subject. Still this is a good start and I'm sure it will get much better.

Great job Jason, everything looks real good but for one thing. This is just me mind you but I think I would have made the image in the center(the actual Picture) a little larger after all that's the main attraction. Otherwise great job buddy.

I know little about this, but the outcome sure looks pretty fine to me.

I like this, but I do have to agree with Jerry on this one, the frame overpowers the picture a little too much. Otherwise excellent!

Great image but not really sure about the frame I'm afraid

Beautiful first render! I look forward to some more, im not a fan of the frame though.

I like this. I feel like I'm soaring about the clouds and looking down on the scene. I must disagree with some of the others though...I really like the frame. I think it's glamorous and it show cases the piece nicely. Looks like it's ready to be on display at an art exhibit. (just my opinion) Great first attempt. Sarah

I think the terrain is good itself. The border is, umm..different. Lol. Its good, maybe a bit too big for my taste.

Good stuff Jason .A bit of a departure from your'e other work,did you use more than one program?, cheers.

The main subject looks great! Wonderful for your first attempt. Much better than anything I could do after numerous attempts. However, I have to agree with the others about the frame. But, you never know what works, what doesn't, what you like, and what you don't if you don't try anything new. So I commend you for going out on the limb once again and trying something new. Great job.

you mixed a traditional frame with a cool project wich reminds these times . past and future cool J

It's a lovely piece, Jason, but first impression was,the framing completely dominates it, and the large expanse of gray matte tends to mute or blend with the subject, rather than compliment it.
If you take it into your editor, and add contrast till the foreground water is a deep blue, your grey will then be silver, and quite complimentary.
I'm not suggesting this corrects the heavy framing, or retains the mood of the original. Just something that's worth looking at, to see the difference in relationship, between subject and matte.

Very mystical - I like it a lot. I would like to see it without any frame, I think it would be spectacular. The size of the frame does not bother me but I think perhaps the outer frame is just a smigeon ornate for the serenity image,
Congratulations on an excellent creation.

You've outdone yourself Jason. This is amazing and looks just like a photograph with depth of color and a beautiful view. Very creative and well done. Thanks for sharing this. Anita

this is lovely, loks like a painting. great work.

Lovely Jason. I could print this and hang it up on the wall and wouldn't need a real frame as it has its own! :) Excellent first try. I have played around with the program a little, but not yet mastered it or produced anything worth posting. I would really like to have seen the picture larger to really appreciate it. Well done! Looking forward to seeing some more. Patti

This is nice. I'm not sure about the frame, but I really like that picture. It's very photorealistic.

Cool 3D rendering, Jason. It looks very classy in the nice frame that you've chosen. Good work!

One HECK of a First Effort Jason!!! Really. My first effort I didn't even use any Surfacing!
GREAT Job! That Sky really makes the lighting for the picture.

The frame is cool, but doesn't allow ya to really see the detail of the Image that well.
Looking forward to seeing More!! You'll probably ge addicted!! :-) :-)

man your lucky, right when you upload this picture, you already have a million reviews. i think this picture looks great ... the picture frame and the picture itself. Good job

Great job with a first attempt Jason. i too would make the grey mat smaller and enlarge the image. Nice outer frame though.lets see more cool stuff like this...Bill

Jason, you did an awesome job on your first landscape creation. I also have to agree about the frame ... I love it, but I think lesser is better. Very well done.

First time? Looks good to me. Nicely done, Jason.

Very nice render Jason, and good framing. I would like to see a little less frame as others have said. Great job!..=)

Well, it's better than I can do that's for sure buddy. I don't know much about this type of work, but...

I don't care for the frame, the water/land need to blended more, it's a wee bland...you ask...sorry. :~(

The sky's really nice, great work there!! Honestly for a first attemp, it's alright. Keep pluggin' away at it and I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time Jason!!

I have never seen anything like this, It looks like you took a picture of a picture hanging on the wall, but I guess it is computer generated, if so it looks fine to me.

I was wondering at first what was the first attempt and then I thought... Terragen? Very brave of you to post a first try. I like it. I like the frames too, because they remind me in a realistic way of traditionally framed prints. Lovely work Jason and show us some more.

Nicely done, really like the reflection of the sky on the mirror lake

WOW.. for your first attempt this is a great piece of work.. love the reflections and the hazy look... excellent

I agree with the others... too much framing. However, I will say that the framing makes it look as though this is a piece of artwork on the wall. Great first attempt and I love the hazy, soft look. I can sense a budding artist!
