Where are my hiking boots and my blanket?
Interesting how the mountains in the background peek through the trees.

Very nice.  It is indeed restful.  One small complaint - the tree bark needs to be more realistic.  The bark on the side of the closest tree trunk looks CG.

nice shot.
maybe you should work on the bark of the trees ^^

Nice view... I agree with the other guys, in that the tree bark needs sorting out and to me the colours are a little bit bland. In real life I think they would be more punchy. Maybe a bit more contrast to stop the image looking too flat. Other than that.... Great.

Great choice for a POV. Agree with comments above, trees look great, but could get better with improved texturing.

Thanks for the comments the bark does look a little flat.

A perfect point of view and composition. You're getting close to realism.

Lovely mood - I can smell the fresh air - I would bump up the contrast maybe a touch; could be a personal thing, though

updated with fixed textures and larger render.  The original render was 2048 by 1536 before it was run through gimp cropped and resized.  I had to up the resolution of the trunk primative in xfrog to get a better looking trunk along with a new bump map for it.

Great Picture... The adjustments make the second piture look way better and more real... I like the lake behind the the trees too.

I think your new displacement on the bark really helps.
