Description
**May 13, 2020...Against the policies of the International Space Agency (ISA) to preserve Europa from mankind's touch, private company Hammiturton, at the funding of one wealthy individual, has sent a space probe to Jupiter's moon Europa. A lander has been jettisoned to the surface and bored through a relatively thin layer of ice to find liquid water below. It appears that the ice that melts at the boundary of the ice/water layer has much sediment from meteor impacts and such, as there is sediment covering both high and low elevations of the undersea landscape. This high sediment level also helps explain the extreme haziness of the water. Ambient light has been amplified to allow the taking of this photo. As one can see from the photo, there is no large scale biological life present...at least at first glance.**

Excellent underwater! Less sharp edges makes for better realism. Great color and cloudiness. Please don't postwork in goldfish or some such silly thing, it adds little except comic relief (unless that is what you are going for). The terragen image should (and this does) stand on its own.
Great job on the underwater look!
Very beautiful underwater scene !! I like it
Now this is totally wild and beautiful!! Excellent job all away around!!

Nice view :) Good touches to joshus' version of the atmo - I like this coloring :)

Actually Hammiturton's probe was outfitted with a low-intensity UV flash & ultrasensitive photocells: it's dark down there! - hey, I worked for them until '25 when I retired! Great deep-sea shot! Excellent!
