Hope the SBS is on it's way...? Would prefer to vote after seeing that.

The lighting is just fab on the boat and makes it look so realistic! Looks like something from Pirates of the Caribbean! Only thing is IMHO, that shadow under the boat is too strong and maybe could be a bit more transparent.. But hey that's just my opinion. GL! Still instant fav from me

This is quite FAB

The wood looks great, but whats going on with the things where the oars go, the chrome looks awful imo.

Agree with Toothpick about shadow and I also think you should have a reflection of the canoe in the water. The chrome too does look just a little bit too shiny in hi res.

nice job very good

i take it your advice guys......thx!...or just some parts from your advice!

I doubt there's chrome on the old rowboat.
More likely it's iron...Which would look weathered...

Fantastic entry author...i don't know that much about 3d but this is one amazing and very effective creation...Love how u managed to merge all elements in one great realistic image...Well done author and i wish u best of luck

RE: more realistic attempt!!!!

Very realistic and cool...author!

Very nice!!!

It’s a nice image, textures and composition are great but the shadows are personally a little wrong, if you refer back to your background this what I see…..light source has been changed to midday sun 12 -1 o-clock/the now more visible patch of shadow in the background is from right to left not like the shadows on the boat which are the left to right, so the front face of the boat should have more of a graduated shadow like at the back end. But still a very cool scene and a shame the S.B.S don’t show the work put in to achieve the end result.

Agree about the few details like reflection, it's a bit flat on the left side, but the two woods and construction are very nice. I like that you included oars, they're beautiful (though the ends look a bit large to grip), reminds me of my sculling days.

congrats for 1st
