Bill, your opinions are always constructive and don't worry about making me unhappy. I post here first because I need to see it through someone else's eyes. The light brownish/greenish thing is a hill of some sort. I think maybe I need to scale it down a bit and retexture it. Or maybe elongate it. I'm not sure how to do the depth of field stuff yet. What makes it difficult is that the garden is sitting on a small hill and there's a little bit of a valley between it and the mountain. I was trying for a granite with greenery effect. Maybe a couple of small trees here and there would help? Or should I add a stronger bump to the green part of the texture, too? Thanks for the comments and for pointing out the problem areas. Kate
