Hi ZeSly,

It looks very nice! Nice modelling with the house, too. I've been studying
the picture for a while, to come up with a few suggestions. It doesn't look
as "real" as I would like. There are probably several reasons. Here are 3 of
them:

1) The snowy "mountains" in the horizon looks bad. I'm sure you know that.

2) The trees are too uniform. Add some variation if you have enough memory
resources.

3) Take another look at some reference photos of showy places in sunshine.
As you know, textures, colours, and lighting can make a scene breathtakingly
beautiful... One thing I've noticed about your image, is the colours. The
show is grey although the sky is blue. Normally, the show will reflect this
blueish colour (mostly in the shadows).

It's nicely done, however, and I've never seen a raytracing that features
completely realistic looking show, so you shouldn't feel sorry!  :-)

Regards,
Hugo
