    tweaked the water... better? worse?

    I think it is better becaus ethe water is more even in color and a bit more foreboding in look

    I like the original a bit more. I think my big thing with the water is the white haze which to me seems more like a bit of fog and that does not blend in my brain very well with this type of swamp, at least not with the clearly defined wooden structures....

    I like either. I like the planking a lot tho. Its a good idea and will be interesting to see where it ends up. This is one where you don't get a good idea of the image from looking at a small version of it - people, you gotta click through to the image here

    I love this one. Great work MMMMMM I think the water lloks very cool, murky and grim. Planks are cool too. Would be an interesting experiment to bumpmap the planks layer with itself. Might give it even more of a 3d look.
