I don't think I find one item in a thousand of your renders that I don't like, but I do think that this one feels a bit too skewed.
Just a quickie transform in Photoshop, but it feels more natural to me. Nevertheless, your environment (color, trees etc.) and composition/framing is absolutely stunning - as usual.

These are all pretty enough to frame and hang on the wall! Very nice indeed, Tom.
Take care,

This is the commercial version at a pretty reasonable price ($169.95).

It's looking really good! I'm hoping you keep progressing - it's always nice to see models of something unarchitectural...
John S.
I have to agree - that's really nice modelling. I also like the design a ton.
Thanks for sharing,

Simply stunning work, Tom! Your presentation certainly gives a "warm fuzzy" to me. I would think the style would really help sell the concept.
Thanks again for sharing,

Not exactly in SU, but:
The Classic version is free, and it's pretty straightforward. I'm just trying it out for pillows and cushions in another application, but if I like it and bite for the Pro version I'll post the results and give some feedback.
