Tired of the heat already so did a cooler scene.  Thanks for looking.

This is very nice!

I like it, seems nearly like a painting.  The only thing is maybe you could work on the composition a bit.

What tree model is that?

What tree model is that?

It is the Larch by DandelO.   I have had it in my files for a long time.....didn't know until just recently that a larch was a type of evergreen tree.   I had not opened the file.

Did you use an image map on the rocks?

I like this one.  Maybe some more variety in the boulder sizes?

Did you use an image map on the rocks?

Yes, I did.

It's better to replace that with some power fractals, Lyla, to get rid of the repetitiveness.

I, as a big fan of image mapping due to my colour blindness, agree to the PF approach. I now use mainly PFs on my rocks and colour them with the handy presets to keep my colours at least semi real when that's my goal.

Changed composition a bit and tried some PF's on the rocks and varied their sizes quite a bit more.  So there are subtle changes to make this better.  Thanks everyone.
On to the next.

The rocks look much better.
