I like your changes. The touches of color in vegetation work very well. I see this is named reduced...so have you viewed original on large screen and you are not happy? My television settings are older format and cannot be updated, but even at free version image size settings, I still get some decent renders.....

I think the notion of blurryness comes from the bark of the further trees and the elk. They appear very smooth, due to their nature.
But it looks very nice now.

Yes I think you are right. I also noticed that the bark is blurry.
Glad you liked it overall.

If you have photoshop you can take the diffuse(colour) image and run it thru this plugin and it makes a very nice Normal map which gives nice displacement/bump which might help this image.

Thx bobby. Will chk this out. My current understanding of these map files are limited so I will have to do some study here

just put the product of the plugin, a blue Normal map, in the displacement channel and I set it to .2 or even .1 for some subtle bumping which might help the blurring.
