That pretty well sums it up.

That there is good Paul, I never thought of it that way

I think though that a far view would look more realistic if it has more small trees than a near view forest planting. That's just my opinion though and it is not based on experience by any means. It does not affect Philippes drawing at all. The guidelines for the placement of the trees remains the same, although this may be more difficult to achieve if you plant a large forest. Viewed from the front and sides no two trees should be on the same visual line.
