Description And yet another of those works that I've been thinking about for a long while and never had the time and energy to get around doing! 

I wanted to achieve three things here: create something book cover like, focus on technical stuff like lighting and atmosphere, and try my hand at painting trees.
I think I got all three.

I tried to paint trees for the very first time, so be merciful. The process of working on this was pretty much: "Oh my God I love that stock photo!", "I've got a very vague idea of what I want to do with this!" and then "What will happen if I add this?". I tried to pay more attention to details than I usually do, but this is still something I very much need to focus on improving. 

As always, constructive critique is always welcome, and I hope you'll enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed working on it. 
(Which was a lot, if anyone's wondering.)
