Over-exuberant reeds

I've completed the first of the four reed banks, here with a figure, for scale.  The figure is standing where the water will be. The image is clickable.


I'm very pleased with the effect, but they are quite a bit taller than I'd anticipated! I could have cut the feathers smaller, but then I'd have had to waste a lot of material. So these reeds will remain huge: think Nile, or somewhere deep in Darkest Africa...

  7. Thanks chaps!

    I've seen photos of reeds so high, that one can barely see the top of a felucca's mast, from the other side. These are pretty much those reeds!

  8. Watch the African Queen and you'll see that the reeds you've done don't look that out of place. (Okay it was made in a studio but then aren't we just trying for the same effects - the Wow factor).
    I like those a lot.
