Next version.

- I did not change the Sun elevation. This one shows the nicest 
sunbeams. Higher or lower elevations do not add much to the scene.

- I rotated the house (and attached foreground) in order to better show 
the arc and tower base of the house.

- I added 15000 billboard trees to the landscape, enough to have a 
significant impact on the local CO2 atmospheric content. Tiff billboards 
coming with the Xfrog tree.

Switch it hemp if you want to be _really_ .... green.  ;)


That's looking _much_ better   :)
You even seem to have a bit more front illumination, which I thought would help.
 It's definitely looking very good - nice job!

I like the trees in this one. I prefer the window reflections in the 
first one. I kinda prefer the darker entry arch of the first, but I like 
the cleaned up steeple of this one.

Now you're talking. ;-)

I agree. It breaks up the straight line of the horizon.

Sure, and I like the plant itself - botanically speaking ;-) but I 
prefer forests.

That was the original intention indeed.

I don't see much difference with the previous image...

It is coming along nicely.

Oh well, one cannot satisfy everybody, can we? ;-)

I changed the reflection values on the windows indeed, and I believe it 
looks more natural now.

I initially thought that you had used a real sky photo as a backdrop! You MADE
the sky clouds?! They are REALLY well-done, as realistic as I've ever seen in
the newsgroups-- exactly the way natural clouds look.  Media? If so, the method
must be quite complex.

All the praise should go to Abe Madey. He is the father of these media 
clouds back in 2006. The method is also quite simple in fact. Look here:

It's a beautiful render. You can perhaps add a figure with a candle at a 
window, in order to increase the tense of awaiting.
