Gonna add a few more things, some water, adjust lighting maybe etc. but its coming along I spect.

It looks very good so far. I would brighten the trees a bit more, more diffuse and or translucency. The ground looks odd, green... Moss maybe? Maybe a dark brown greyish hue, slightly more bumpy for rich soil. The rocks are very neat. Clouds could use more samples.

Clay

Yeah am working on some tweaks, here's a new version in progress. And I hate those damn trees' trunks they look silly.

AP

What is wrong with the tree trunks?

Dune

Welll, they are extremely black, leaves also. Did you check the trees up close? Base color too dark, no translucency in leaves, no texture at all?

Great picture! Agree what Dune says about the darkness.

Correct but i might have thought something else was wrong besides that.

Pine type trees I have found are not an easy thing to get looking good as they tend to be very tall with skinny trunks which I've found often render too dark, The needle/leaves..likely the needles/leaves could use some translucency for sure.
