Final Draft: Winter Lake Matte Painting

Today I've got an image. A mix between 3D Modelling, and 2D digital painting.

The idea was that I was to make an icy lake scene. I modelled and textured the trees and ground in 3D, as well as the ice lake. Then took the render into Photoshop and added grass, lighting and the reflection on the ice. One major problem I noticed is the trees in the background. I had rendered the 3D scene before adding more trees, thus only the ones in the foreground have proper shadows and lighting. The rest, I made in Photoshop. Overall, I think it's not bad, but I definitely see spots where I could improve next time.
