Really? Hmm... I'd guess it has to do with the fog/sky. (shrug)

Thanks. Well I think I've decided that the clouds need to be more
transparent and the grass needs to be a bit greener.

Nice picture, I really like it. For criticism: trunk of tree seems to be
"CG" and grass in water could be more "alternating": i'd expect, that
some roots are more inclined, especially in the outer line.

Thanks Vahur.
Well I've changed the tree to a more willowy tree using Gilles' Maketree,
which I feel looks a lot better. I agree with your comments about the
grasses in the water but I can't quite get them how I would really want so
I'll see what else I can do (probably nothing in the end).

It quite impressive and serene. The objects seem properly scaled in relation
to one another, and both the water and the sky look quite natural.
As for what seems a bit wrong. . . Well, on the whole my eye feels cheated.
The fog is too dense, obscuring most of the texturing details and the ground
cover lacks sufficient variation in size, placement, and type to compensate.
As a result, I take it all in quickly rather than lingering over, and
appreciating the details. Then I get to the tree, an object with some
clarity, but its not all there. Somehow it has only managed to barely
squeeze itself into view in spite of all of the space available in the pi.
That's just my two cents. It's still better than anything I've ever done. :)

Looks great, but i wonder why it's that slow.
It would be interesting to see the foreground, maybe with a boat and some
more detailed view of the grass.

Hi Christoph.
I'm currently working on something to go into the foreground, now on with
the embarassing explanation.
Well I think I found out why the render was so slow when I went to delete
the aa switches in the command line. Unfortunately when I started the render
I was drunk and managed to type +r44 insted of +r4, luckily it stops at +r9,
but it still held it up quite a bit, fortunately I was using method 1 else I
would have been here for a few years :)

Hi there
thanks for the comments, I've thinned the fog out and am working on some
things to take away the blandness of the horizon. I may move the tree in
slightly but I've changed it for a more willowy style which I feel works a
lot better.

Very nice image. Why "Imprisoned"?
