Nice job. Overall a great scene. The height of the pines is a nice backdrop.

I made them using twig's from my back yard for the trunks. I coated them with a mixure of white glue and water. After they dried I drilled hole's in them with a mini drill.Start your holes about four inches up from the bottom of the twig.The branches are dried plants I found at my local craft store that I cut up and superglued into the holes.I then trimmed them to the shape I wanted and gave them a coat of clear matt.Took me a few tries to get it right but it was worth it.
