Well I dont really like this MOC for some reason. When I first looked at this topic and saw the pictures I instantly lost all intrest. I really cant put my finger on what exactly turns me off with this MOC, but there is definetly something that bugs me. I think it might look too blocky or something. If I figure it out Ill edit my post and let everyone know.

His use of rock landscaping is incredible.

And besides his obvious building talent, he also sure knows how to photograph his mocs.

I love the hedges (an obvious point I know) but I don't like the lack of height variants for such a large MOC, it seems a little flat... However the small touches are as always masterfully well executed!

God Bless,

Yeah, those are great. This particular MOC of his isn't my favorite, but it's still cool, like I said in my other post. What I love about some of his others is that they are so realistic to me, that I not only want to own it (like I do with almost everything I see), but I actually want to go there, as if it was a real place. My favorite(s) of his would have to be that bridge, the four towers, and just about everything else. I've got his gallery bookmarked. Image

His work is excellent, and I recommend his entire gallery to everyone to view.

As for this garden scene, it seems a bit... sterile for lack of a better word.

Adding a peacock, some birds, a fish, or a toad might add a bit.
