vale of snow

Another snow scene.
Still learning, still playing.
Comments welcome

I like the distant mountains.  All you need now is something attractive in the foreground - like a snowboarder doing a flip.

I really like the crispness of the image. I would try working on some more realistic patterns for the snow. It's hard, I know, but definitely worth it for this image.

Can you add a powerfractal to the leaf texture to make it look like there's some snow on it?
That would really help make this image imho.

Dont' think you can add a power fractal to an object?? but I'm going to try and alter the colour of the tree needles to see if that helps.
A long time ago Oshyan said he was working on a method for snow on trees but I never saw anything appear here. He seems to be away from the forum at the moment.

What I meant was to blend the image colour with a powerfractal as the colour function for the needles.
That should give some variation between the green image and white (snow) to make them look like they've had a light dusting. Close ups prob wont look like snow but varigated leaves, but medium and longer shots should be acceptable.
