Made this with some tricks I learned from Making of Golden Forest tutorial.

I think this looks very nice. Good job

Really Nice! Maybe play around with the "do soft shadows" settings (under sunlight)??

I haven't used that before, what does it do and is it a render-hog?

It takes a good deal longer, but it improves realism. Especially the shadows on the trunks would be visibly softer. Maybe it's not even necessary, you could try a crop...

Very nice, Ares! I think the patterns in the mist are a bit too hard, I'd like to see the mist a bit softer but otherwise, lovely shot!

I echo the above....great start!

Lovely render, but do agree with teh mist being a bit knotty....maybe stretch the X or Z axis a bit to make it more wafty!

I got around to doing another iteration of this one. I added Soft Shadows and did an X, Y and Z stretch of 2 to the clouds, I think it's an improvement.

It is, definitely. Very nice.

Very pleasing to the eye. Can we go there yet?

Very nice improvements...adding soft shadows made this image work, good mist too!

Cheers,
