Comments welcome.

I like your color variation in the trees as well as the cloud formations. I'm stumped though at what that object is over to the right side of the image.

I think it's the boat she listed in her credits. 

[Lady of the Lake]

Well, it is supposed to be an old broken boat.

Sorry, I should have read the post first ...thanks Richard and Lyla.

That's okay, Bob.......it is obvious I did not do a good job with this.

I don't like barrels generally but like your idea/buildup, what's up!?

Like choronr said, the trees and color variations are rly looking good.
For me they looking even better and more natural like most other ones I see normally, just saying..

You just could invest more kB's to your attached picture(s) quality wise BTW (if possible). Few hundred of kB's per attachment shouldn't be a problem i believe.

It's nice, but there's a strange kind of blur on the right hand side. What's causing that? I do like the 'windblown' tree near the boat, and the stuff lying around. Get the reeds to extends patch-wise to the left a little more, or do something else with the barren shore, like some rocks or more barrels. The clouds are really good, but maybe you can add  a subtle cirrus. And make it bigger!

Very nice color variation. Maybe something to change with the clouds.

As you used the cattails i tried to get it, but there is no more access to get it. Any idea about another site for this file ?

Nice work Lyla, I think the blurring on the right is caused by an image overlay. I always throw a srf layer over the top of an image overlay when looking directly @ it. This helps the image settle in.

[Lady of the Lake]

Will work on the barren shore, add a bit of cirrus cloud, see about the reed patch, but about the blur on the right hand side, I have no idea. Danny I don't have a clue what you are talking about (image overlay).  Am wondering if it could be the tree model itself.....an X-Frog willow and if you look at my last image that had that tree, it was kind of blurred (windblown looking) also. 

RE: size and quality.....about the best I can do with the free version.  :-)

Thanks for all the help everyone.

[Lady of the Lake]

Reworked.  I think it is better. 
Thanks everyone.

Question: What were your Detail and Anti-aliasing settings; also, what Pixel filter (in the Extra tab) did you use for rendering?

[archonforest]

Like the composition and the colors. Definitely communicates the title of the picture. An abandoned place.

IT does give a good sense or remote and quite. Looks like you've been using the new color feature too. Well done!
