This is a older work intended for a Ashundar contest, but I already had a entry.
Many of you may not like the clouds, but I've seen some very similar to these so I choosed too keep them.

I'm happy for any comment's.

lovely work here....I like the color variation in the trees but since you are up to the variation maybe 3 or more color would do some extra good....and as you said.....I didnt like the clouds....but thats just me.....

**** (4 stars) from me...

Very very nice work! Nice looking vista.
The trees look very pretty, did you do anything special with them? (specularity, luminescence)
I've seen clouds like this many many times here in the netherlands and thus I really like them, fantastic!
Only minor crit is the almost 50/50 composition.
Great work, looking forward to see your next one

Beautiful and excellent. Where did you get the trees?

i missed it ! good title

and very good shot ! ^^

calico: The trees are from xfrog.

seth93: Your title is good too

I still think it's funny how they can be so alike at almost the same time

Yeah, this really really nice work. The trees are simply fantastic. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get myself some xFrog trees someday

. The clouds, as you said, could probably benefit from some more work to be perfect, but they're not really bad even now.

You do have the 5 free ones at the PS download page right....well if you dl the XFROG demo there are 5 more, all small/youngish trees/plants there that you can export to bring you up to 10 tree/flower types and then there's the XFROG Public Plants at the greenworks page....lotsa plants out there friend.. ...

Yeah, but...xFrog seems to be so good!

Don't get me wrong, had I the cash I'd have that as well but sigh, they aren't as nice as Matt with this TG2TP, and my demo timed out after I'd converted all the free .xfr's I could find, heh heh heh...Never did get around to trying to build a tree with it tho...sigh

efflux · November 14, 2007, 02:25:43 PM

Nice work. The clouds are cool and the trees are very effectively lit.

dhavalmistry · November 14, 2007, 02:38:21 PM

just a concern from me...there is snow on the ground and there is snow on the back mountain....then why isnt there any snow on the trees....is there some kinda top secret government facility located in that forest that has developed a special kinda forcefield for the trees??...

This reminds of long days hiking wher e I can see my target a long long way off... Great clouds,nice idea
