Tree of Life

Just playin'.

I might have made the leaves a little smaller, but love the rest of it.

[Kadri]

I think the same. Looks nice.

[choronr]

Artistically, you've created a beauty here Kadri. Yes, a slight resizing of the fallen leafs would improve scale.

[Dune]

Agreed/ What strikes me is that it seems as if the absent leaves still reflect in the water. Did you loose them by the opacity input?
For less grainy reflection you can use a reflective shader after the water shader (turn reflection off there) with a 0.002-0.005 softness applied.

Good one!
I take the reflected leaves as artistically intended.

[archonforest]

Very nice!

It is intentional, as I had to do it in post.

I like the atmosphere, dark and turbid. The size of the floating leaves is a distraction to me, maybe a bit smaller? The concept of a reflection of non-existent foliage is interesting, however to my eye it doesn't clearly define that. I think your composition and atmosphere is filled with potential for a very fine image, on my part I'd like to see you refine this one a bit more.

[Dune]

Ah, intentional. What might be a nice experiment is to add the same tree with leaves, rotate it X or Z wise 180 degrees, and make the water REALLY transparent.

Moody!

[Hannes]

Looks really moody. Agree about the size of the leaves.
