Another landscape rendering

[windrockwater]

Hello,
Here is my latest landscape design rendering. I will try and monkey with comping in some scenes in the windows. But other than that, any comments?

More reflection on the roof and on the greenery, they look a bit synthetic at the minute - overall looks good though!

Thanks! That was with just a daylight system. I am finally getting some nice results with a HDR map too. Much better contrast and punch. But way longer render times. I am adding reflections now to leaves and it adds some nice depth.

What's really distroying the mood is the sunlight coming right up from the top. Very unlikely, unless you live by the equator.
Try some other sun-position, lower it.
The purple leaves don't go very well with the other plants. Maybe some trees with white blossoms would do it better.
Beside that the greenery is well positioned/arranged (too much for my taste, though: less is more).

Ale
