This image really projects an atmosphere of intense sunlight. Looks great!
Great Hilary. Nice view.
Very good, as always-- your work is great. Something to think about: Artmatic Voyager doesn't do volumetric clouds, so you don't get cloud shadows. I've been out West, in exactly this kind of landscape --Zabriskie Point is in Death Valley, right? Anyway, with sunlight this intense, clouds cast very well defined shadows, which you can see, because you see so far. You might try experimenting in Photoshop (or whatever) to see if you could achieve that effect.
You are right about shadows - I had them turned off, turning them on would correct what you perceive to be wrong. I would rather re-render the work to fix this. Post processing in Photoshop to create shadows would only create an approximation, and in such a complex scene, with many dips and crenellations, the correct shadows would be virtually impossible to guess at! Sometimes the shadows, also cast by the clouds, can make the resulting voyager image too dark. I do believe it is worth trying to do this one again with shadows on.
