Important Notes:

Taken just at dawn.   Row of maple trees.   
All five are 3000x4000 pixels, 12 megabytes. 
Great backgrounds for silhouettes.  (Bats?  Vampires?  Castles?)   Halloween pictures.  Dramatic backdrops for character poses.  


*****

Rendering 3D characters to add to a background?  Here's a quick list of some very basic hints.  
1- Make sure the characters are at the same angle as the background.  
2- The light in the photo is the way the light in the photo is going to be.  You'll want to match the direction, intensity, angle, and color of the light on your characters and props.
3- Your characters need shadows so that they don't float.  Make a new layer below the character (in your 2D program), use a very soft round brush, black, 33% opacity (OR LESS) and brush under the feet and where the character will be touching things.  If you can make the shadows realistic, kudos...but any shadow helps.
