focus on the bottom right-hand corner of the shot, at the hedges are clear. Also, notice the open space; the landscape is not at all cluttered

Actually, philip.ed's picture here is pretty accurate (maybe very slightly over saturated for the dustier greens of late summer). It's of somewhere in the Cotswolds rather than Kent, but no rapeseed in sight and more rolling elevations than most of Kent. It does show the importance of the hedgrows and contiguous woodland rather than individual trees.
Oleg's trees look better than I feared from last week's post, but they still look like silver birches with light foliage rather than the rich oaks & elms. Also they still don't merge together like RL, which makes the scenes look a little cartoony.
It's good to see so much progress.
