Title: Close Encounters

This rock formation was inspired by Devils Tower that appeared in Close Encounters of the third kind.

Interesting and nice render!

I especially like the partial cloud shadow (i think) on the rock formation.
I am not sure but i would try a render with 2 times bigger trees too , just to see if they would look better, Reck :)

I like it a lot, reck!

I especially dig the distribution and the lighting of the trees (apart from the ones in the background, they look a bit awry). And the rock formation is very interesting, particularly the 'bubbly' surface of the lower part is amazing, almost alien.

Can't give you any hints as my skills aren't the best... ::)

There's something not right with the scale though right? Maybe Kadri hit the nail on the head and I need to increase the size of the trees.

Really like the unexpected coloured lights in the clouds - nice idea.
