Some serious project during the Easter weekend. Wanted to try out the new geometry nodes in Blender 2.92. Turned out it was real easy to setup and fun to work with compared to arrays, especially in such scales with a smaller hardware. I am always drawn to nature and although I know getting the realistic look in such environments is quite hard to achieve, but I stick with creating nature renders.
Own tree bark texture, other textures mostly from textures.com. Sky from HDR heaven.
Birds are little cheesy, I know… just some quick addition to fill the sky.
Critics, feedback or praise 
are welcome…
Cycles Render (4k res took 1.5 hours and a 1080 render tool 20 mins, but the shadows and water are very good, but I like the tree bark from eevee below)
Eevee Render (although all other parts are well done and even a 4k render took just 1 minute, i see that the shadows and water are not as good as cycles)
