FULL VIEW PLEASE

Edit: Lessened the contrast and darkened it a bit. I also completely got rid of the contrast in the distant forest part, attempting to give it more depth.

*crawls out of a hole*
Well, I've been stuck down there for a month, but I bring you the one thing that kept me alive, other than the bugs and dripping water from the walls.

Specs
Vue 6 xStream (I upgraded)
Photoshop CS2

Render time: 9 hours
Postwork time: a lot
Full size: 2650 x 1762

Bird Brushes: [link]

So after many Vue tutorials and some planet practice, I came up with this. I'm working on depth and detail, I hope it shows. =P

Comments, favs and critique are much appreciated. I don't plan to wait a month between each piece in the future, so don't worry about that. ;)

FULL VIEW PLEASE

it has some nice effects although i still think it lacks depth; it would be nice too see it bigger but from what i can see...
the blurred effect doesnt really look good and can remove show less detail
and it might be best to have duller colours in the background to help add depth
the render and composition look nice but i think that depth could be shown better through colours and detail
anyway its nice :D
all that probably made no sense at all...

Lol yeah full view. And I did the blurr and the bright clouds to make it feel dreamy. If it's really that bad though, I guess I can tweak it.

A bit on the over contrasted side.

I like the scene but, here's my advance critique to it. Get ready for it :)

My main problem with it is that, actually, it took me to go and take the scene and crank up the Gamma Correction to go wow at the scene. Maybe it's the brightness of my monitor but I had no idea there were any trees whatsoever until I did that.

I also just noticed the leopard on a closer look (zoom) and I actually had to search for the birds to actually notice them. I think the scene is very good, but the composition doesn't let it shine in all of its magnificence.

Really? I actually thought it was too bright so I darkened it a bit. :O I guess our monitor settings are different. Maybe I'll do some more tweaking...I wish there were universal monitor settings at the touch of a button. :P
