Excellent first scene. As Djeser said, one of the best i have seen too. Djeser said most regarding the light. I only add something like "Don't worry too much", it must look good nothing else. And don't use too many lights. I normally use maximum 3-4 light sources. In nature you normally don't have more. Only in a photo studio... Setting up light for me is mostly the longest part in setting up ascene. A lot of trial and error. Regarding the terrains. I think most of us have difficulties there. For me terrains are sort of background. And only good in combination with other elements (vegetation, houses etc). Like in real life. And/or combined with a adequate atmosphere (fog/haze, light) i normally try to push them into the background as much as possible. Walther
