Really like this image.
However, I still think the clovers are too big (~4x) and perhaps the clouds are a bit too bluish, though I don't find it that much distracting.
Looking forward to see your next iteration.

Cheers,

I liked the light-blue colour and overall sunnier second image better from a lighting point of view. The addition of the flowers is nice though!

Lovely clouds and landscape.  I do agree that the clover would be more realistic if it were smaller.  Linda

Great lighting - this is nice and realistic, but could do with a tad more contrast maybe :)

Got it! It's not the clover that's too big, it's the grass that's too small. If the grass would be really more than double the size and more randomly scaled it would be perfect. You could also add a little DOF in the foreground to show how small the clover is.

Btw, I think the clouds are really too blue and the contrast is too low.

Looking at the base of the tree you might have a good point here.
However, the size of the tree could be 12-15m and then imagining myself standing just in front of it I wouldn't find the grasses that small/short.
I think the "truth" is somewhere in between. Grasses might be increased in scale and clovers decreased.
The DOF is a nice suggestion to add some more realism and fancy-ness.

Yes TU, I think you're right. I looked at the picture again. Compared to the tree the clover is still way too big, but nevertheless I think the grass should be a lot bigger.

i have made some changes to the grass/clover distrobution, both the grass and clover pops now have identical paint shaders as the blending shader, one is inverted and the other is not

the problem i encountered before was that, the smaller i made the clovers, the less visible they appeared through the grass, you could hardly see them.
right now i'm working perfecting the sizes and distrobution of both, it takes abit of time to render
