Thanks a lot, all of you, for constructive comments. The blueness is a construct all together, the "true" conditions were heavy clouds and leaden gray light. For such conditions, the sight range was remarkably long and contrasts were more crisp than one could expect. That's why I wanted to play around with the light. Deep blue could very well be perceived as a kind of dusk setting, and that's what I was after. However, after a while I had trouble deciding how much to press the issue.
Thanks again for the feedback. If you don't mind I might post a redo of this one later... :-) Best, Jostein Paul Stenquist wrote: > If you mean, is it realistic? I would say no.
