Thanks for the input peeps. I plan on softening the transition between the water and grass on the left and more trees there will be.....if I survive the treelab. I was wanting to put a candle in one of the windows but I guess I need Stefanos approval before doing so. The amount of light given off by a radial for the candle would not affect much apart from the window, so hows about it DC? As for the sky well I made that sky specially for this image 'cos if you've ever been to the Highlands of Scotland you'll know that this is how the sky looks most of the time, unless you're really lucky. This sky in particular reminds me of most visits I've had to Glen Coe, you drive round a tight bend in the road, through 2 gigantic rocks and then you are confronted with the mountains. The sky is most always brooding there and makes for a very spooky atmosphere. I always thought Glen Coe was like that because of the battle between the Campbells and MacDonalds, that the aura of that terrible night somehow remains in this place. Catlin
