Dark Forest

Against the mid-morning hour of silhouettes.

I like the mood and trees. How about adding something to give it context, I was thinking something that would lighten up, either a small campfire, or a vague house with lights, a pale dead tree....

Super!

Beautiful, I've seen actual mornings like this up at Riding Mountain Park in mid Northern Manitoba....well done. so far but tend to agree with Dune on some context.

Looks very good. Agree it could be also be a great setting against something with its own glow or catching some early light.

...or some dark riders
...or a passing horse-drawn carriage

Anyway nice mood!

In the process of an update.

Interesting but I personally like the first one more...coveys a better mood.

Camp fire on the first render like Ulco mention would be bad ass. The orange light bottom lighting the trees. That would seal the deal IMHO

[Dune]

Yeah, this is too much, should very subtle, tiny whisp of smoke perhaps, though that is easier in Photoshop.

[ADE]

looking creepy, how about a fog monster

Just an update. I still intend to add some context.
