I made a few changes and added a few things. Figured out why the leaves in forground were not antialiasing right, Okay.......sock it to me!

PS there is no post work done yet....

Well, you've improved it quite a bit, no question..I'm still not sure about the direction of the light.....however, I can now see the butterfly in their hands, but I would lose the house and replace it with bigger trees also replacing the others up on the hill.

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

Vast improvement. Looks really great. I see nothing wrong with having a house in the scene. Just another symbol of love for one's family... protection, comfort etc. Maybe make the tire swing rope just big enough to show up in the scene, so it doesnt look like it's floating. Happy rendering.

Bryster, I have tried the sunlight in everywhich way You can imagine and the faces just don't show up well at all. I just keep coming bavck to this direction. Any suggestions? I do want to change the color of the trees and make them bigger. The green is just too light. But I like the house.:)

Colette, you can try very small spotlights near the faces to bring them out a bit more. Being so near, you of course will have to tweak a bit with the intensity (my guess is that would be very low). And, now that I think of it, giving those spots a very slight blue color will maybe fake the reflection of the water? For sure you catched the strongest force of all... :-) S.
