This one needs ray traced shadows, but the render time was too much. The fog probably should have had more samples. The noise did not show in the test renders... which were much smaller. But overall I am quite happy with this one.
I used a second sun behind the camera as a fill light. I also used quite a lot of fake dark in the atmosphere. I'll post the tgd if anyone is interested.

the fog seems a bit noisy needs increased samples..
...still it looks good.
Yes, nicely composed - just needs a few more samples.
Nice atmosphere, Henry, but I'd replace the tree by a nicer one. This one has some spiky branches that don't look natural.
