Expecting winter

I would disagree with saturated sky suggestion. Hey, we have billions of manips showing electric colors and ad-like focus, screaming "look ---> HERE <---".

This piece is beyond that simplistic approach.

The mundane approach to this render is very good, because it plays great trick with viewer. A 1-second first look makes him think of "quasi low quality" image. Yet the level of contrast and overall render of landscape is very dark-autumnal and fits perfectly.

Yes it is balanced, but it allows for great feeling of slow onset of winter, in accord with slowness of sewing process. Yet edge of white is very broken, a dynamic shape. The inbalanced composition would demonstrate a more dynamic feeling, that is NOT NEEDED here. It's calm.

It is important to remember, that any creative decision is made according to goal. So you can not scream with electric colors when you need cold autumn mood. You can not introdice great dynamics if you need picture to feel calm and meditative. That's why actually I loved that piece a lot. It got awesome amount of art department skills and it dares to not care about common trends. And this tremendous quasi-mundane render that catches viewer who would not guess a CG from miniature perhaps.

Good points, it is very symmetrical, I thought about that for a long time. But I decided that I wanted to divide the seasons in two equal parts, it might become a bit less interesting this way but I couldn't really see any other way. I still have to improve some parts of it though. Great feedback!
