Just something i'm working on. I really like the graininess i get from the zdepth. Makes it look cool user added image

Im not quite sure what it is but I feel the scale is off slightly. I think it might have to do with the fence and size of the ferns on the ground. You also have a very soft focus which I don't think helps...

Are all the plants paintfx?

I look forward to seeing this one progressing user added image

Cheers for the feedback mate! I have fixed the problem with the ferns. They were really out of scale user added image Looked at some reference pictures. I'm gonna try to get a better zdepth pass. Only the ferns are paint FX (and they are not the maya fern preset ones, i made them from the pine tree preset). The rest of them is onyx forest

The depth of field gives it almost the appearance of a tilt-shift shot, making everything look miniature.

Yea, i have never got this grainy zdepth before user added image Dunno what went wrong, can't fix it either. But it looked kinda cool so i kept it. But i have taken another swing at it based on the critics

The only thing bugging me about this is the overexposed areas, the foreground on the right lost quite the bit of detail.
