NWDA's ornamental grass & Lilacs, Wallis Pines & Summer Gnarly's, X-Frogs bushes, comments critiques advise are welcomed
The vegetation is wonderful.
very nice start, but I would alter the sun position - especially the mountain in background looks flat and doesn´t reveal its structure
What Walli said... It needs some shadows to accent the displacements.
Agreed ^^
Everything looks good on its own. The image just needs some drama in the light.
Thanks guys, appreciate the l@@k and advise, I'll take another shot with the light
Subtle light and exposure changes
I do think that gives it more character
I very like the last one !!!
I think it looks a lot better. The plants all look more natural now too.
Done or going to keep on with it?
Wow, that's a beauty! Very natural, looks like a snapshot taken on a recent hike or something.

The second one has a much stronger mood. I like.
I think the second one looks a lot better, when it comes to the plants, really nice. I would reduce the brightness of the grass, but thats a matter of taste.
But - the mountains in the back still suffer from the light. As those mountains take sucha huge part in this image, I would still play around with the light, so that the ridges start to catch light
Better with the different lighting.
i really like the foreground on this one, nice terrain and use of foliage and trees
the second one def. has better lighting but i like the foreground on the first one better.
One minor suggestion, but to eliminate those odd white patches in the front pine tree you can reduce or remove the reflectivity on the needles of that particular tree. It shouldn't have too noticeable an effect other than getting rid of the overly reflective areas.
Thickened up the haze and lighted the sun by 0.3. Agree with Walli, still searching for the sweet spot for a nice medium between the rock and foliage. More to follow
What a difference the light makes. Consider a second sun (no shadows) set at a low level and 180 degrees opposite the main sun so as to help illuminate the mountains. The second sun's strength could be set about 0.4.
Maybe also zoom a bit back and lower the camera.
Thanks guys, heres the final
Nice!
Both very nice, but I liked number 10 the most; beautiful light!
Thxs for the look and advise ^^
Great scene.

I've ben watching this with interest - very nice work. Tend to agree with Dune the light in number 10 is great and adds to the mood of the image.
