I like how you took a perfect image and made it more perfect. I usually start sliding backwards at that point. Well done man.

an absolute beauty!

Beautiful image.  Especially interested in your tree models (deriving new models from an existing model)

How the hell did I miss this...............great image.    I would like to see your workflow on the trees myself.

Thank's so much for all of the wonderful comments! There is a back story to the image, but it's a bit involved and I'm not sure whether it would aid or distract...

Here's a link to a short youtube video showing the steps in putting this together:

A video of the tree construction is possible, and I'll put it onto the to do list.

Great breakdown Doug! We've posted it to our social media. I wish more people would do these for their best images, they're always fascinating.

That's a cool way of showing the setup, Doug.

Wow, Doug, I totally missed that one. Fantastic image! Ultra real and great video!!

[Jo Kariboo]

Beautiful!!! Superb work at all levels. I find that the addition of these clouds reinforces the composition at the graphic level.

Very cool breakdown Doug. Shared the youtube on my FB page so folks outside of this forum can share my amazement.
