Description
One more try with 3D clouds - I'm not too thrilled with the water / land in the foreground.
Thanks for looking in!

The clouds look ok to me Love the colors.The terrain and POV are excellent like always.Love the mood of the work.And the water is just fine.
Excellent excellent... I like a lot this one !
awesome sky, rich! i like the terrain & surfaces!
agree about the foreground & water BUT awesome sky!
Excellent crisp layers in foreground !
Yes, the upper half of the image is superb, but I agree that the water's edges are too geometric. Love the colors! The foreground texture is fantastic!
I see what you mean, the water looks like its sitting a meter or so higher than the land. This is because the water is a smooth surface and the land is heavily textured (excellently textured, I might add). On any visual surface, even a monitor screen, the eye sees smooth textures seeming to float above rougher textures. Abstract artists used this techinique quite often to get depth in their paintings (eg. Jack Bush - no relation). The solution would be some transparency around the edges of the water (unless the land drops off very steeply and won't respond to the transparency). That's one killer sky, BTW.
The sky is extraordinary - looks like a painting. The red colours are gigantic. O.K., the rest of the image is maybe not your best result. But it doesnt matter. Your gallery shows the real "Terragen Classics".
Excellent atmosphe, super colors! Perfect terrain, water, surface and textur!
I agree with bost, "transparency", other than such a minor thing, it is excellent and I really love the sky!
Agree with you a little but the atmo more than makes up for it....excellent!!
Love the sky and surfaces!!
the sky is fantastic!
Lookin good. Maybe just a little to much ground textures
The atmos and mood are really outstanding! Love it.
Love the sky and love to see you always trying new stuff.
Superb atmo/colours! Nice terrain, surface and lighting/mood too!
What a gorgeous atmosphere!! Fantastic surfaces too!
Well Richard this is more than a try with the clouds....They are just superb ! The colors are awesome and the mood set is excellent ! The land in the foreground does look a little metallic and these are some of the surprises that come with a render I guess ! What I sometimes do is just cut (crop) out what I don't like sometimes. It gives bizarre image sizes but often well received. You have still acheived excellent work !
Paul says it all. A true artist is never satisfied; this is why he (or she) will always be trying to do better. This picture is superb. I am sure Rich that you have learned something in this process. Excellent work.
Beautiful Atomo and Cloudscape!
The atmosphere is wonderful! Please do some more with 3D clouds! Beautiful colors in it, too.
