Brilliant work!!!!!

Very realistic terrain and lighting Craig,this could easily pass for a photo...excellent terrain work!

Looks great !

Wow, that's an incredibly realistic terrain, great work!

Awesome image, very realistic

Interesting effects !!!

Really worth seeing a picture. Unfortunately, I have to stress time, therefore only a brief visit

bonne image!

Now, that's cool! Realism at its best. ")

Love the tones and gorgeous landscaping!!

Fascinating work! I love the rock formations.

Amazing landscape my friend, gorgeous creation as usual, congratulations!

Very cool landscape!!

Yes, that seems to be a great feature!

This is one Spectacular Landscape...Such Detail...Nice Work! -Will-

Very realistic looking terrain!

Very depressive view! I can not hear any sound around. As there is no planet atmosphere nor life now. Very suggestive scene.

wonderful work to visit but to be stranded there where is the green or even the water warm hugs, Linda

Freakin' killer! I love terrain with realistic character!

Looks like the middle of nowhere. Beautifully desolate. The sepia really fits the mood.

Very good work!!

as a trained biologist, I imagine you have more intimate sense of the articulations of rock formations than most of us, even if your specialty was more about the life forms within them than the rocks themselves...But it's still stunning to see the detail here, even if you know more about it than most. You have numerous erosion lines (forgive if I don't have the right geological terminology, I thought 'tectonic plates' were dinnerware made by Tectonic...don't ask!) which imitate, in many spots, the dynamic flows of tributaries, streams, rivers, etc. They also look like incisions made by very old plant life (old, geologically), which is really enticing because they look almost like plant life, as if there were numerous leafless stems crawling up these primal formations. They're also reminiscent of fossilized animal prints, as if a herd of web-footed creatures once roamed here & were somehow frozen in the stone until a team of geologists dug them out. The ambiguity is wonderful. I see the plane, which I hope has a reeeeealllllly good pilot. And the rest of the rock formations---their sedimentary layers exposed vividly---are quite articulate, playing between light & shade very expressively. And you have a back layer in more reddish dark-browns, which is a fine use of background shadow. And I see that some of the surfaces shine a bit: a nice touch. A fascinating work, Craig; I don't know how long it took you to make it; but as a 2D artist---for whom 3D is a single effort at Blender, in which I got a square and a reeeeally bad dot in just over 3 hours---it seems dauntingly detailed to me, and difficult just to get the light & shade right not to mention all those lines & overall balance. Bleak though it is, it has real primal beauty, and one of your trademarks---gentleness. I think it's beautiful. (You want another geology joke? In the States we have a vacuum cleaner called "Bissell". And we decided that any Bissell without accessories should be called "An Abyssal Plain".) (Hey, ya do what ya can! Geology isn't a goldmine for one-line jokes!)
