I have been changing my work flow and trying different techniques. I hope everyone likes this.... Thanks for the reminder about the temp files!

Henry, you've done some very nice work here. One suggestion is maybe you could change the 'green' color of the trees to more of a gray/green or olive green. I think this would make them appear more natural.
I was thinking about that; changing the tree color. I used Walli's pines and one of Marc Gebhart's sugar maples. Marc Included several leaf sets, so there is a lot of choices.
I also put two of Walli's dry shrubs in. They are not very noticeable. I am also thinking of adding a monastery in the foreground center. It would be on top of the ridge near the lake.
love the sense of scale!

Using Photoshop, I have been taking Walli's leaf shaders and making color and/or brightness/contrast adjustments and applying them where I think the vegeataion might better suit the lighting and atmosphere of an image. Also, I will use some of my collection of color/texture maps which sometimes the same thing.
This is a very nice one, Henry. I love the terrain. If you pursue this one, more detail would make it great.
this is a very nice scene!
