So you have metallic, mushrooms, yes?

From d97ta@efd.lth.se:
too bad you got tired of it... it's lovely, has a nice fairy tale
atmosphere and i can almost smell the forest and feel the wet mist
clinging against my skin.
lovely bark on the foreground trunk.

From stubbs@dundee.net:
pretty scene and layed out well. nice colors.  mushroom cap should be much less
shiny- looks plastic

From buck@cs.byu.edu:
Very nice.  Height-fields for the grass is a good idea.  Your tree trunk
is fantastic!

The grass blades seem pretty "thick" in some places...can't be helped
with a height-field, perhaps, but it detracts from the picture where the
grass is nearest the camera.

The mushrooms are nice, too, but their specular value is perhaps a bit
too high.

The view is perhaps to close, but composition is nice.

From djconnel@flash.net:
This scene has a lot of really nice features:

1. The trunk is nicely done!  With a little more texture
  to roughen the smooth sections, it would be quite
  effective.
2. The mist adds a lot to the background.
3. The shadow mask is a nice, subtle effect.
4. Nice bark on the background trees!

Some comments:
1. The grass....   I realize grass is tough, but dirt
    & rocks & sticks would have worked here, as
    I have never seen dense grass in the woods.
2. The butterfly looks 2-d .
3. The mushrooms look plastic.

From bill@apocalypse.org:
nice mushrooms and trees, grass seems to rigid though

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Quite realistic tree trunks.  Good soft lighting effect.
Rich grass "carpet" seems out of place in a forest.  How about least a few
weeds?
Nice mushrooms and butterfly, but is there a connection between them?  A story?

That's what my grass should've looked like... and the bark... you might not
be satisfied, but it looks good to me.
