I have to agree with Horo on the rocks. They are unaturally faceted and ruin the realism of the overall image. The rest of it looks really good. The tree similarity can be fixed by rotating them at different angles on the Y axis, making them look dissimilar to each other. I personally would prefer a smoother look for the mountains but that's just me. This is a really good image overall. 5/5

Outsanding work worth a 5/5 no doubt. I agree with Rashad about the apparent similarity of some trees. My quibbles here are the rocks that are very angular.

Very well done. It has the look of a traditional watercolor. The mist adds a great deal of depth to the image.

This is a very nice the trees the river all seem very natural. The placement of plants in the water must have taken some time. I would second the idea of a few radial this scene would stand out even more. And yes I would also encourage you to enter this in the Bryce gallery but I think you have to have at least one of Daz's modles in the scene but I could be wrong.

First thing you need to do is to render this at a much higher resolution, a width of at least 1600 pixels. I also suggest that you submit it to the Daz Bryce Galleries because it is most impressive. The composition is surely the strongest aspect of the piece, every object is perfectly placed. The terrains in the background are expertly modeled. The haze is awesome. The water is just right seemingly tranparent, good call! The trees are a tad too similar, but you can easily remedy that rather important detail. I have some issues with the lighting in that I feel you are still relying on the ambient channel to light the leaves, You would get better results from placing a few low intesity radials near by and removing the mabient glow altogether, that is what I have done when tranparency was not an option because of long render times. Just a few radials never hurt anyone. But once again this is extraordinary work from you. I would expect no less. I'd even say you are improving more and more. A pleasure to behold your work. Absolutely amazing. 5/5
