Its beautiful.

How many hours do you think you've spent in front of the computer on just
this image?

Definitely a great image! 
Looks like where I was 10 days ago. 

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the wide camera angle which 
makes the trees appear bended. It's something serious photographers 
always try to avoid...

I've got nothing useful to add, just. . . .
Wow.
That is so fantastic.
Wow.

Yes, hopefully in the next future on the web. But this doesn't only depend
on me. If you want, I can send it to you directly.

Thank you very much. Its always strange for me (but pleasant) that some
creations from me can be seen as art.
And yes, I'll contribute to Povcomp. The first prizes are too exciting to be
ignored.
In two weeks I'll have holidays and because of family issues I and my wife
will stay at home.
So up to now I have at least five ideas and hopefully one will be finished.

    Excellent, Norbert. Most beautiful. I was stood on a rock
recently, about 5 times the size of yours in your image, and looking
directly skywards at the tops of 100ft tall (guessed) pines in North
Wales... It was a hot day, and hardly any wind, except for at the top
of those tall pines... You should have seen them swaying. A sight to
see.

You are right, but this was intended.
In fact, a forest is much darker  at this lighting
(look at http://photography.cicada.com/gallery/brain/graphics/talltrees.jpg
for a real forest).

My only excuse - Povray forced me to make compromises...

Thank you, but this is way to much honor for me.

Funny, but it's similar for me.
Sometimes when I'm getting philosophical, I'm imagining some hard-wired
instinct related memories as a relict from former times, maybe in the old
brain stem.
But since I'm not a biologist....

Thank you for your kind comment.

When I see a nice picture at the net, I save it immediately. When it is
attractive enough, I search via Google similar images. After that, I have
hundreds of images on certain topics in a specific folder. Afterwards I
chose the three to ten nicest ones from them and copy them to a folder for
their own. The next step is to decide, which image can be created with my
skill levels, test files etc.
This stage gate process needs much time, but at least I've a clear target
then.

Perhaps this is the cause for the impression of realism you see.
