Description
I created this scene by using a combination of two 4097 DEM files; namely: Moonlight Peak, CA and Mt. St. Helens (cut version). The 'cut' version was provided by Buzzzzz.
Jay added the post-worked clouds and other tonal embellishments. The terrain will be available soon on my web site for download at http://www.imaginature.us . Tomorrow I will post the original so you can see what 'post work' can do for your creations.
Why the name 'The Sleeper'? Shortly after I selected the POV and adjusted the water; the main landform appeared to me to look like a giant Monitor Lizard at sleep partially submerged in the water.

You get a V for this one Bob. Yep, I can see the lizard from the back, watching him crawl out of the water. As always your render is "above" nature.
