DawnStar: The man's head IS round. He is wearing a cap. :^) You're right about the boat, it is hard to distinguish. Wood exposed to the elements tends to turn grey, but the final render will be larger, higher res. If that doesn't help, I'll mess with the contrast, etc. in post to bring out the boat. twilightrose: "Solitude" is a better title, thanks. The tree is round by design (it took me a long time in the tree lab to get it like that, LOL). I was trying to get a tree that wasn't lopsided. Your suggestions were very much appreciated. BTW, I was trying to create a backstory for this pic by having a little grave marker on the island (just to the right and below the house), the idea being that he was alone on the island with just his cat, but once upon a time he was happy and not so alone and lonely. I'm afraid I need to make the marker a bit more obvious as well.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
