Blending Williams Creek and Threshers Mill - More Progress

 

Planted the trees on the hillside behind the Williams Creek trestle. These represent the last of the trees my dad and I salvaged from the last layout - hope he's pleased with how this looks! I tried to gradually increase the height of the trees from the background to the foreground (left to right in the photo above). I think it adds to the effect of distance. I also cleaned off the water using warm water and a makeup sponge. I was shocked at how dirty the water was! But the stream itself looks better than it has in a long time. 

Still need to do some additional textures on the bank opposite the mill building proper - and to add the details to the front of the mill building.
