I'm working on a postcard to send out to clients, etc. this holiday season....

here's where i'm at at the moment.... need to adjust some of the wood textures, and work on the sign texture..maybe add a bump or someting.. definitely looking for some comments on presentation and obviously, the rendering itself... thanks!

Cool idea.

The tree looks too 'CG' at the moment though, but the wood texture is very convincing.

cool wood structure... but yes the tree is too thin..

thanks guys... tried texturing the tree again... here is is with a little post in PS for the lens flares... the small lights showed up great in the preview, but were barely visibl in the render

The tree looks much better. Is the sign intended to have soft focus?

Try using a variant of the same apature map, but scaled down, or scaled larger. That should help improve the glare when you refresh the render.
