Nice.

If this field has been tended at one point or another in the past, there should 
be piles of rocks somewhere (probably around the tree, or close to the fence).

But otherwise, the image works fine as it is.

Hey Andrew,
    It looks very nice.  One thing that is bothering me though is the tufts
of grass around the fence posts.  You would see that if someone had been
mowing the field, but then the flowers probably wouldn't be there, unless
they are dandelions.  Also, it seems kind of odd that the fence is one
continuous curve, and not a bunch of segments.  It looks like a sideways
traintrack as it is.  The tree looks really good, and the division technique
seems to have worked very well.

Great image. It has the nearly the same colors and lights as the Pixar 
movie "A bug's life". But there is a little mistake in the placing of 
the stones. Some seem to float over the grassland. But this is only 
nitpicking from my side. ;-)

So long,

Bonsai

Very nice!
your image looks so quiet :-)
I'm kind of scared by such a quietness, one would expect something terrible
is on the point of happen.

Thanks

Actually, the rocks are all slightly embedded into the ground... what you are seeing
are the
heads of buttercups, daisies and poppies... their stalks are not all that visible at
this
resolution.

All the best,

Thanks, but I wanted to avoid having humans in the scene.

Actually it's derived from Rune's Fast Clouds... stacked planes with
double_illuminate.

There are lots of rocks scattered about. The field is grazed by sheep, who avoid
eating
flowers, and don't like getting too close to fence posts.

Thanks. Yes, the fence is not ideal.... I used trace to place spheres along a spline..
took
the easy way, rather than having straight sections of wire.

Excellent image - I would add a few tiny birds on the upper left just to
balance the tree, and perhaps a cow
