Wow.. you really improved this one. This is wonderful. I love the water .. that beautiful beautiful reflection, combined with the clear water so that you also can see some rocks below closest. Wonderful touch! Light is perfect, and you also seem to have improved surfaces. In the snow there is a little "polygon effect" (probably due to the terrain?), but still an excellent picture!!

thanks xlars! really nice comments! =)

Your work here is quite wonderful. Your surface mapping above the water is very realistic, and the lighting really gives it that special flair. Some interesting comments; First, the underwater mapping seems a little strange, but I cant put my finger on it. I think it may resemble the above water mapping, and that makes it look a little strange. =/ Anyhow, the other thing I noticed was that the terrain resolution on the mountain is not high enough. If you look right...down...the center of the moutnain, you can see where the mapping pixels are cut out. You might want to increase it a little higher to make the finer bumps and ridges more clear cut. And thats it! Excellent sky and water surfacing, this is a stunning immage. GJ, and best of luck on future endeavors.

Heh, blocky terrain again. This, I've found, is caused by resizing a small terrain too large. Nice "wintery" pic overall, good job w/ surfaces and water transparency
