Sprouts

While working to improve my scene composition skills I created these renders. I have had less success with these types of renders than I’d like and so I’ve spent a great deal of time in recent months studying how to create believable scenes. I am seeing measurable improvement, but it still has a way to go before it really tricks the eye. I’d love any tips on what you see as off about the image or have notes on what I could do to improve it.
