Wow i am quite scared to post an image, looking to the awesome render quality i can find here.

I stay away 4 years  by 3d graphics  as an hobbyist, and when i turn back to do a look, man i found an incredible increase of quality in photorealism!

This is my second in TG3.
Unfortunately I was not able to found the colour balance i wish to obtain, need to work on it.

P.S.
To avoid sun lighten  behind Pine and not increase render time, the central part it's a small crop render with flag "receive shadow from surfaces" in atmo settings, copied it as a layer over the final render (need to do some colour adjustment because with "receive shadow" enabled the light tone is different)

Title inspired by song "My ever changing moods" Style Council :)

Rendered in 6 hours with TG3 PRO (0.8 AA8 GG 5-5)
Postwork: contrast and little levels.
Obj was:
-Bob Bristlecone Pine from J. Shliep Silva3D
-Canoes from Sunshine777 Terragen.org
-Seagulls from DandelO PlanetsideForums
-Other Plants Xfrog

Best Regards

Well, you don't need to be afraid at all, this looks very good. Very tonal, nice balance and the tree fits greatly into the scene. Well thought out.
I may have one small thing: isn't the floating canoe a bit high in the water? And would it be where it's at, being a canoe?

*drools* at the atmo - I must concentrate more on atmos (but not in my next piece)... this is lovely

Hi! thank you for your suggest about canoes, you are right is too high, and i'd never noticed it!

I'll Try to position it lower in next enhanchment :)

I don't know what you were after but i like the colors. Nice image :)

I redo the image: load a less dense tg2  atmo,  lower the sun strength, and the canoe  in water.
it looks more balanced to my eyes now.
Modify the position of the camera also to better match "third rules"
Thank all for the kind comments,

Looks nice .
I think i know why you changed it but i liked the first POV more.

I like the first one more too!
The soft color is beautiful! And the evenness and quality of transition of light and color across the entire image is extremely good.
