First of all, thank you for the compliment. I had fun.
Second, to tell you the truth, the trees were the easiest part to me... all they really are is 1 color with dodge on one side and burn on the other in various shapes and sizes to fit around a meadow with very little details in the leafwork. Most are just sticks with a few branches. Sometimes less looks a lot better than more, especially far away. Then I plopped one in the foreground and detailed only a few of the leaves and left the rest less detailed. Remember, in a tree, some branches go further back, so are smaller and behind looking... the shadows will allow this to show. I added a few touches of hanging moss for a little character and let the moonlight stream t hrough the branches.
I hope this helps you on your trees in the future.
