New World Tableau: Negko Devinna in Kenroku

Kenroku_03

"One week without New World Tableau," Negko notes, then wonders, "Has creativity disappeared with Philip Rosedale?"  I saw Philip yesterday in New York, so that can't be the case.  The fact is, my collection of Tableau submissions is running dry.  Please send me more!  Fortunately, Negko supplies his query with a submission of his own, in Kenroku garden:  "This place is just beauty. Textures, buildings, terraforming, have been designed with a strong effort for balance and harmony. To me, it is very close to my fantasy of the traditional Japanese garden."  My wanderings in Kenroku, which boasts trees that change with Japan's real life seasons, is here.  I wanted to try a 'night' shot and then work on light to increase the eye focus on the character of this picture. So light, shadows, and blur depth effects have all been post-produced on Photoshop.  This photo has not been made with a 'Windlight generation' client but with an older one... note that no diffuse glow has been used on this picture."

Submitting to New World Tableau:

New World Tableau is an ongoing album featuring Residents who've turned SL screenshots into a new art form, vividly conveying emotions, stories, and entire cultures in a single image.

- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail (hamlet@secondlife.com) me the link.   Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.) 
- Moderately Photoshopped images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were added.  (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)
- If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC licensed.  The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any case.
