I'm really happy with how this one turned out.
Hope you guys like it too!
These rocks look pretty cool!
I'd say the scales of the trees are a bit off, but that's also just how you look at it.
To me I'd say an average human is twice or three times the size of a tree in your image.
Some of the displacements look really good by the way, especially in the foreground I mean.
All fake stones or also powerfractal?

Thanks for the comments - I think it's the boulders which are causing the scale offset - they are huge stones - hence the small trees?
It was supposed to look like huge chunks of rock from the Cliff face had fallen down.
It makes sense to me - but I got lost in the picture working on it for a few hours!
Perspective ; An interesting concept!!
All disp is using a fake stone shader.

You're right about that of course. Like I said: it's just how you (want to) look at it.
My first impression was: nice big boulder, but very tiny trees (bonzai :)).
On 4th and 5th look now I have a better vision of the scales.
It wasn't really obvious for me at first sight, but I'm also a bit tired so better blame that :)
All fake stones, very cool!

I'm glad it wasn't JUST me!
I'm sure Calico will see it in some way neither of us has considered! ::)
The trees on the far side of the water look amazing!

Xfrog Ferns - Translucency 1.5
2 different sizes - 4/5 scale
Good work. I particularly like the texture on that mid-distance cliff on the right. I see you've got a few exploding fake stones. I think you mean Xfrog Fir Trees, not Ferns for the distant trees.

Without grass, sometimes trees look out of place in TG2. I struggle with what works, since in nature trees seem to just grow about anywhere. It's sort of a challenge to find a good place for trees. Anyway, great displacements.
TU's insight is always spot-on, but I'm happy to give my opinion, if asked.
