Great job on the terrain and the fig posing. Nice beehive too.

Hey,

Very nice little scene. I really like the landscaping, and the beehive also jumped out at me as a great detail.

Nice, I like that :D
nice landscaping, I like that clear water, but maybe blue is a better color.

Brilliant landscaping! The beehive and water with the fish are fantastic additional details!

Of course a scene like this is close to my heart as you can see here and here. :wink:

The first thing I noticed was the texture of your landscaping. The combination of colors stood out a lot and seemed relatively natural in form. I am trying to work on landscaping, and your MOC is a good example of how to compose the land rather well. Also, I really like the tree design along with the bee hive that is attached to it. The water is definitely unique, but im not sure if i like the clear water look as much as a transparent blue. Great job...

I just got a chance to comment on your MOC. I for one love the clear water idea. And whomever mentioned the idea of putting brown underneath, what about blue underneath also? Even perfectly clear water has a blue look to it when seen from most angles. I just love how the water is set at an angle to the shore, very cool looking.

I love the way you used the large leaves to form the braches and look of the treetop, the beehive is simply awesome (I'm going to use that one someday!). I like the color green you chose for the landscaping, it looks great in my opinion with the brown and dark grey.

I would have liked to have seen some flowers on some of the grass 'stalks'. And the transition from the bottom, larger part of the tree to the skinnier part of the trunk looks a bit unusual to my eye.
