I know you've been working on the hand holding the club so I'm sure you don't want to move the club.
But if you flip the entire picture horizontally then the hand holding the club will match a certain avatar.
Well, I still haven't gotten the focus to sharpen on the monitor images (dangit!), but I boosted the ambient strength nutty high and got about the same brightness I see before I render. I can live with a little bit of fuzz, as long as the images are recognizable as fall-type stuff.
Oh I like this one too sithkitten. I have that prop and never thought of changing the default screens. Nicely done.
Thanks for all the suggestions throughout the process.
The following is the postwork added.
Blended the memory image into the sky background.
Added a pencil, black lines, and a drawing of a turkey.
Made the leaves redder and added some maple leaves.
Darkened the color of the woman’s eyes.
Modified her hair to make it look more like it’s being blown by an autumn breeze.
Got rid of a poke through in the collar of her hoodie.
And a few minor touch-ups here and there.
Hmm, wildest wild life I normally come across are my 2 young cats, but they can get pretty wild as they are only just over a year old.
I like the way this is evolving.
missing shadows on the ground plane, now you have pulled the camera back
Still not sure if I like this wider angle better... I had made the shadows soft because it's cloudy...but I think you're right...they were too soft. They're still pretty subtle in the latest version, but perhaps better!
Two cats, did you say? (Actually, I feel like it might be one too many cats for the purpose of this image...trying again with just one cat...)
@DennyL: thanks, I hadn't realized that Cho ('s avatar) was a lefty! I'll see how it looks flipped.
Then I guess I won't be making anymore changes. Thanks.

@Mr Leong: Love the hand turkey! Adds a nice touch.
I added that when I realized the Daz community is worldwide, and some people may not realize what the little girl is doing when she's tracing her hand.
Gonna post this here though I'm pretty sure I should just go ahead and post it in the other thread since I'm pretty sure I won't have time to make any changes. Still, I felt this had to be completed despite the blatant flaws and obvious postwork. With the theme being either Autumn or thankfulness, my thoughts turned to the economy. Many are still struggling but some finally get the ability to improve their situation and for that they are thankful.
@ZamuelNow: well, I really like the concept and the individual parts. The composition clearly needs some work, but you know that... If you have a few minutes to work on it, blurring or otherwise fixing up the edges between the arms and the background images is priority #1, I'd say.
Here's where I am with mine. I'll attempt some postwork this evening. Actually I'm re-rendering it one last time, because her face looks slightly out-of-focus to me...and to hopefully get some better shadows on the ground plane.
You may notice that Cat #2 has re-appeared...still not sure which way I like it better: one cat or two. The other significant change is the boots: I applied leather and suede shaders (from the Supersuit Fantasy Pack, I think) and I like the result much better than the default materials.

Sigh...I know. It's embarrassing and frustrating for the very fact that I thought that splitting it the way I did should have made it easier to do. Don't know why the edges are so sharp on the copy/paste. The whole situation has got me in a bad mood and I'm almost wanting to retract. I mean seriously, these are the images.
