Well, I've been tweaking the trees till I'm sick of them, going to spend some time creating some decent tree presets, (you can't have a big tree, without big leaves), so this is the final, however I will continue to refine the setting, trees, materials, etc...just don't have the time right now, busy, busy, busy...:)

This is really beautiful Zhann. I simply love the setting and your composition is great. It looks like it was a secret garden that's been lost for too many years, the sort of place you stumble upon if you're lucky. Absolutly great work, best wishes for the challenge. 8) Catlin

Same feeling here, Zhann. It's really a great entry, the thought and preparation you put in it show out bigtime. S.

Zhann, That is a superb piece of work.

Thanks all...good luck to everyone!

Cool render and great Idea. I have found gardens to be quite uncontrollable

This is excellent Zhann! Great POV and mood, puts me right there. Great work!

Wonderful one, Zhann. Good luck!

Great image. I agree - the jungle is truly an uncontrollable force. Good luck everyone! Scott

Zhann for big trees do you have the leaves scaled to 1 and the trunk fairly thick?

Great render! :)

I like this very much. Great composition and good textures. It's all very well thought out and the result is very good. great entry.

Aldaron, yes, actually, and I used the smallest leaf, 'aspen' but they always come out bigger than the real thing in Bryce so I guess, I tackle the tree lab in force to see if I can get what I want, or model they trees I need in xfrog and import...A big tree in the distance would be big but the leaves would be small, 6 of one, half dozen of another...:]
