this is realy nice! but indeed, there is like something missing, hard to 
describe. to me, the image seems rather flat. the trees are stunning but 
they don't create enough dept. i thing you need more perspective in your 
render. also the colors seem a little high contrasted. it's strong green 
against strong blue, try adding some other colors in whatever way. good 
image !

Sorry. That was a joke. A reference to Snoopy (from the Peanuts comic 
strip) and the Red Baron.

Yes there is a not so distant hill with forest.
I'll change it to be more recognizable.
A quick render shows the new version.

You are right, yellow and red colors are underrepresented.
This is the only reason I left the plane in place. But what else?

I need the plane only to have a red spot.
If there is an alternative, I'ld let it crash.

I really like the feel of this image. I've wanted to do something like this
for a a while (forrest w/ ferns sort of thing), although I don't think I
would have come up with some of the touches you did. I also think you have
good aerial perspective working here.

For what its worth, I'll put my thoughts along with everyone elses:

Lowering the plane slightly into the top third of the image might bring it a
little more into focus. Also opening the trees a touch around it to create
a frame  might help.

Bring something into the lower part of the image to balance the red plane (a
subtle red tinted bird whatching it?).

Anyway, thanks for showing it - I've enjoyed it!

I love your images and you should try building some complete scenes.
And I would love to see more of your code.
As I said, I learned from you
(http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/message/%3Cweb.3e8c22222831a9
513f8e7b2e0%40news.povray.org%3E/#%3Cweb.3e8c22222831a9513f8e7b2e0%40news.po
vray.org%3E).

What I did was to replace it with -

 #declare h_strength = 0.0005;
box {
        -1,1
        hollow
        scale <1000,400,1000>
        pigment {rgbt 1}
        interior {
                media {
                        scattering {3 rgb h_strength*<0.2,0.25,1>*0.25
extinction 0}
                        absorption rgb h_strength
                        method 2
                }
        }
}

I'll try it, seems to introduce a surrealistic touch.

Thank you,

   I think there is like a missing zone between the foreground trees and 
the background ones. I would expect the trees to disappear more gradually.

   Perhaps it's a little bit washed on my screen...

   Overall, it's a beautiful composition. The atmosphere is very good, 
almost what I expect for that kind of forest.

... Have you considered using a single plant with a red flower somewhere
between the trees on the right?

Very very nice, except I'd lose the plane altogether.  It just distracts for
me and my wife.  Maybe you could have two versions, one with plane,
one without :-)
