It is beautiful and strikingly realistic to me!

Congratulations,

Fernando.

Comming along nicely.

Hi Tom.
Nice mountains, trees and snow. Very realistic.
Great image. Waiting to see your next version.

This is looking really nice, especially the work on the trees, although I'm
not totally convinced by the mountains.

How about a door frame and open door around the border of the picture?

Although neither the mountains nor the trees are extremely realistic it
looks somehow beautiful, concerning the trees, if you make only about 5-10
different ones each as one mesh and place multiple instances this will
save a lot of memory, even if you don't reduce detail for the more distant
ones.  In addition grouping the trees into several unions would can also
speed up the render a lot.

Even a small indent would go along way. I would not worry about being exact.

The short trees look a bit squashed; did you use the same object as for
the large ones?

The one with //TM at the end is Tom Melly's.

Yeh - I need to check my scaling params. Glad you like it (so far).
