More Tests

Right first things first, i had a play with the lighting. Was looking at the test i did the other day and its horribly sterile lighting, so i looked at some autumny stuff and coloured and toned down the lighting to give it a more autumn feel. Theres now orange, green and yellow lighting the scene and i had to add a faint blue because the blue of the watering can got washed out. I wanna make the scene a tiny bit more foggy in some places so that we get some light trails but I've got nowhere near enough stuff to see how thats gonna work yet. The picture above is the same image the only thing different is the lighting colours/levels.
Same as the pic above, just felt the need to shown it standing alone. Ive upped the bump a bit from the last test. (this is my favorite test)
Just trying to see what its gonna look like with patches of dirt on it. This is only a quick test and isnt really that good and to get it working well in this way is going to take alot of effort and make the floor possible too busy once all the other objects are placed in the scene. I can always do more tests like this if necessary.
This was just the dirt texture i got overlayed ontop of the prexisiting texture, which i thought looked quite interesting.
So i changed the colour of it to make it less yellow and more green. This still work and looks more rugged, but i think may draw too much attention to itself and stands out more than the watering can.

Thoughts Plz...

Grass

Had a play with the flat plane grass and just want some feedback on this test cause i quite like it. This isn't done with the velvet but by mixing the existing textures with a cloud overlay and then a diffusion cloud bump. The lighting is a tad too bright in the first example because i underestimated the power of the occlusion but see what you think.

Was this our final model for the watering can? cause if it was i'll start texturing it properly.
And the close up, this is about an 2 inchs from the plane and has no occlusion on it. Theres a graphic pen overlay which is causing some trouble on the lighter areas but this is only because the size of the texure isnt massive and can be easily fixed. Let me know what you think cuz i want to see if i can get some longer grass incorporated in some areas (in the background round the watering can).
