Woodlands Canopy (updated)

Surely one of the best renders of the moment (for me).
Nice tone mapping, colours and textures... perfect !

Thanks for the positive comments guys and sorry for the late reply, I have been out of the state for a while.

To answer few of your questions
1.  For the trees, I have used evermotion archmodel vol 1 tree collection for corona as pointed by Yagi and yes I did tweak the shaders to make them look good.
2. lighting is just one hdri , all with dof, glow and volumetrics baked in corona frame buffer.
3. very minimal post, just the usual passes I use (reflection , direct, transulcency,abit of curves, color balance and little glows)
4. some of the assets in the scene I have modelled them myself.
5. Rendered in Corona 1.5.1

Thanks again!

i dont know but may be its just me, whenever i use hdri i never get bad ass results like anything close to this.  is there a specific way you have applied the hdri thats different from the usual inputting it in environment tab? is there some level of tweaking done to your hdri? which Hdri are you using precisely? peters, evermotion, vizpark etc? just curious...if u can, pls show how u handled your Hdri for this project. thanks
