I didn't post for a couple of weeks as i'm busy with another huge project.

Just this view as a break

Not bad, I like the atmosphere and flock of ducks. Lighting seems a bit flat though, not much shadow. Did you have fill lights or a high GI Strenght on Surfaces? Or maybe even disable casting of shadows somewhere?

Sunlight strength = 3
GI =1
But i have a cumulus layer with 0.01 density on ground

Any idea to improve will be apreciated

And nice to see you back from holidays (hope it was fine)

Yes, had a good trip, thank you.

Did you have shadows disabled or anything? The closer I look, the more it looks like "Do raytraced shadows" might be disabled on the Extra tab in the Render Node. If that's not the case, hmm... Maybe need more direct light, less diffuse. Also, GISD! (you are using TG3, right?)

I like the shallowness of the water. I like when I can see the bottom of a water feature; the stones and such.
And I like the basic premise of the composition for a landscape.

Maybe another iteration where the water is the focus, and the sun is just a distant detail. There is a lot you can do with that water given the angle of the sun position. The dirt and mud are also worthy of further investment.
