In truth, almost all of the locations were accurate to the book and my perception. Barad-dur itself was rendered much better than many images I had, so I adopted that. Minas Tirith was flawless (except for the absence of Rammas Echor), Edoras was exact, as was Helm's Deep, Rivendell, etc.

Treebeard......not touching this one.
