I spent the last few days putting together this scene and experimenting with Quixel Megascans.

Any feedback please?
Cheers.

I feel like the rocks near the water need moss and other greenery, as the contrast between the foliage and rocks feels a bit off, especially in that last pic on the right-hand side.

Looks amazing! 
Yeh, rocks near water need moss and wet effect.

Love the climbing vines here, you've balanced your lighting really well also.

Excellent feedback guys.
Yes, correct! The rocks there need to look like they belong at the water line.
I also feel my lighting is mediocre. Perhaps some more contrast, different angle? I aim to improve my lighting work so any clues there would be hot! 

I should also replace the two vines over the fallen tree with higher poly ones.

Thanks again for the honest and useful feedback.

Your lighting seems quite realistic, but not particularly evocative or dramatic. I'm no lighting expert, so I would just say to think of what kind of mood you want, and experiment. If its a game-play space, think about which way the player is traveling through it and use light to guide them. You could adjust your rock/cliff placement as well to create more interesting shadows.

Thanks Benjammin. Good pointers, will do!
