Description
Well, here goes on how I made this one. Sky, terrains and foliage are all pretty much self-explanatory. Mats were customized from the presets.
The basic water plane is a customized 'Thin Foam' mat. Rolling waves were constructed from an elongated and squashed sphere, duplicated a few times, randomly placed and customized using the 'Clay's Ice Cube' water mat...found in the turbulent set. The sea wave sprays at the far right entrance to the cove area and left foreground area were constructed using trees and applying a custom 'Sea Spray' mat to them and adjusting the transparency levels. Be careful to hide the trunks when doing this.
Finally, the addition of 9 radial lights randomly placed.
That's about all there was to creating this one except the render time was almost 6 hours at Premium with soft shadows selected.

Excellent work and scene, well done...
I can imagine the rush of the water to the sea.outstanding realization and seascape Keith
There's an isolated community south of here called Shelter Cove. It has a south facing bay that sometimes in the middle of winter can get HOT--it's wild and crazy when the storms hit; after the 64 Alaska earthquake there were all kinds of appliances lining the shores due to the currents. Got off the track a bit, but your title made me thing of it--your image is beautiful and the kind of place I'd love to spend some time.
Beautiful composition, Keith. You master Bryce for sure. Fantastic craftsmanship. Great work on the ocean and waves.
Terrific image, Keith. Thanks for the explanation of the water effects - very creative use of trees to generate the splash :o)
Beautiful scenery, excellent work!
