What were you exactly looking for? Reflection of the water on the dino's body? Reflection of the dino in the water? I can't really see where you used the reference for... This time, the insight isn't very clear for me... (but I learned already a lot from the other blog posts).
Ivo, you're right--to be candid, the reference wasn't all that useful. One thing I got out of it was the placement of the highlights at the water's edge. I was hoping the photo would capture the darker, shinier quality on the wetted part of the dinosaur, the way it looks in elephants bathing in Africa. I took photos of lots of other dinosaur models in the water, and used just a little from each one.

ReplyDeleteOh. I thought you were giving it a sponge bath, the way the Dinotopians are!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. You blog is very insightful and helpful. Out of curiosity how did you create that?
ReplyDeleteThanks, John
You're not only drowning just any dino, you're drowning a BABY dino! 'Jame' on you!
