I like the construction of the flower. However...just a few questions: How can se see the details so well when it is so strongly back-lit (the trees in the BG are completely dark). Also, is this vegetation growing in snow??? I am so confused. :P

I took most of the detail of the tree bark away when I blurred it, you can pick it up slightly on big, but on this size does look dark I agree, yet the snow is reflecting the light all over, so I am personally happy with the lighting, it is subdued...

... and green veggie life can grow easily in snow as long as it is not 100% snow 100% of the time, a random snow fall would not cause everything to drop dead on the spot, the sparkles are showing the sun is melting the snow...

... and hence why the plants are clear. Also the inclusion of the original truck was to suggest the snow fall came quickly and unexpectantly from the original scene.

As far as snow reflecting the light onto the trees, wouldn't the snow be whiter if it was reflecting that much light?

Good idea, however, lighting is a mess, snow looks like sand, its so damn dark, snow is white, also the car takes a lot away from it. The grass makes no sense, whatsoever, The flower petals and terribly integrated, making the lighting have no sense at all

metal petals and translucent, and are facing backwords from the light source, the trunk should have more light hitting it, therefore more highlights on the edges. The middles has four different light sources and is way to light,Also the leaf has same...

problem, I have no idea why the flower has an outer glow, and I know you usually do this but the image is way to desatured and has a bad color choice, Personally I think this is actually overvoted rushed work.

I hear what you are saying Rocky, but overall you do realise this is not a real image of a mechanic flower... as they don't exist :oP ha just kidding, if I had made this totally dull and dark, people would have seen nothing, & where is the fun in that ;o

also I feel fine with the look of the image and what I set out to achieve, all power to many moving and keeping the truck whole entries in the comp, but I wanted to make it into something, and also have a story of the trucks progression into my scene...

...however, I don't know why you just didn't choose a different environment for your creation. ...one where the lighting made sense. The snow wouldn't reflect light that much, and if it were, the base of the BG trees would be affected as well...
