First, it's marvelous.  I love "outdoor" scenes, and scenes like this have
crossed my mind, but I've never tried it, thinking it would be quite
difficult to do.

Something seems funny, strange with the forest itself.  Should there be more
trees in the back at a lower elevation?  It seems like it.  In other words,
we're presumably looking over a hill.  I would expect some more distant
trees in the nearer distance.

Also, the shadows seem to bright to me, especially on the rock and dead tree
in the foreground.

Gee.  I've tried to keep my hi-rez renders under 3 weeks.  Perhaps I'm
limiting myself too much.

Have fun!  Nice work!
