Nice scene. All the foliage makes it lively and green. The hut is nicely done, but may be a little small. One suggestion though: the hanging tree may be a better hanging tree when you let is hang over the water some more, right on the edge of that rock. It's a bit too straight for my taste.

Nice work using a variety of differently shaped trees. Makes the whole scene more realistic of a untouched wilderness.

Nice house (with those pillars), the ship's wheel is also a nice add to give it a more pirate-look. Like some other people said there are some interesting trees in it as well.

I like it! Makes you wonder what could be in or beyond the dense forest of the island. Well done!

Nice MOC you've made there! I like the water and the cliffs a lot.
The foliage is nice as well, but I think the building is rather small, it looks comfy though.
Overall you have done a nice job building this.
Sail to My Brickshelf or to My MOCpages, or my Flickr Photostream!

This is awesome! I really like all the details on the island. The rocks and cabin look really great!

Wowza! I am just starting to embark on a similar Western MOC, and this is a great source of inspiration!
The rock scaping is top-notch, and the wooden building really well integrated.
The vegetation adds a lot to this MOC, rather than cluttering it up which can sometimes be the case.
I would only recommend using trans cheese slopes instead of tiles for the waves, tp give it a more natural look.

I know mods don't like single word comments but if everything is said, I just can say that I agree and find it lovely.
