technically it looks ok, but i don´t like the look. looks like a fisheyecamera which makes no sense in this scene. and the angle of the sun destroys the contrast of the fall colors. get rid of the frontlighting. and concerning tot the suns position, i think it is too bright, but i might be wrong.
Will def try those variations they do sound good! The current version is prity much what the tutorial was all about. Will post the new version if possible. Thanks S-Markt!
