Ooh! Let's Go Down There!

Something about this one really makes me appreciate the natural beauty you can sometimes get out of the game. The only effects I applied here were highest graphic settings and Super DOF. Everything else (in terms of light) is exactly how it was in the map. And I think it turns out beautifully.

Funny how this is the map you also likely spent a lot of time in in Half Life 2, only the look of things weren't the biggest of concerns at the time. I actually managed to pass it the first time without once touching the sand.

There's something about the combination of bags and Elements that they're wearing that appeals to me. I think I want to do a few more poses with that look. It implies something about a grand adventure/quest that they might be on.
