Need improvements. Any suggestions?

Can you get some light beams to come through the trees a bit? May add a lot of nice drama. Also, please don't make me lay on the ground like a worm. Im a man not a worm!

Yes, it lacks some vivid light, the wood is very dark. Maybe also some undergrowth.

[masonspappy]

Good start - maybe raise the POV a foot or so?

[archonforest]

Cool one. I could just drive my not existing Impreza over there
For suggestion I would put some variety between the grassy stuff. Right now looks pretty uniformish.

Iteration 2

[archonforest]

I like these changes!

[masonspappy]

that's looking better!

[TheBadger]

Can you keep the rays but have them come in from left or right?
Big change in feel from the first.
This will be fun to watch evolve.

I like the centered rays myself. Very nice.

I like this too, looks like the scene of a ufo coming down. Maybe you could add a very subtle ufo right in the light, and a person gazing right in front. Something adding interest. You could even use a small lake object up in the air with some default shader's opacity pattern, and nothing more. Have it throw shadows on the clouds.

The UFO is surely a great idea, but I originally thought of something like an archway. I found a very nice model for free on the internet and I'm actually setting iteration 3 for render. Also, dropped gamma correction values.

Thank you for all the feedback!

Iteration 3. Not sure if it's my monitor or the foreground is too dark.

[Kadri]

I like the last one. Nice addition.

[Dune]

Yeah, that does it! Great!
