saw this as I got home to pack to go away ;-) [busy time of year]

expected to see lots of replies {guess your frustrated at none }  would like to see your nodes trees and like to know what "look" you was after??, if you was after the cheap plastic thing you NAILED it !!! easy to see the foliage is polypropylene and the bells are polyacetate would suspect the velvet to be tape with a flock material sprayed on hope that don't upset you ;-) .......do like the render nice use of DoF but the B/G is odd ?. looks like baubles hung in an empty room

that's just my take ask elsewhere for more helpful advice

ps merry chrimbo and it would make a nice card for this time of year ;-)
