John, this is great. Didn't know you were part mountain goat. I've not tried photo-integration since TG Classic. Takes a great deal of patience to do it right. You've done a good job here.

John, would you mind sharing the low cloud/fog settings? Am looking for a similar effect in a current render.

Thanks!

New photo of me is taken from downward angle.
Shadow applied in Photoshop as previously described above.
Darkened and decreased contrast in shaded parts of figure. Just leaving top of left thigh and shoulder in relative highlight which I calculated were exposed to direct sunlight.
Changed direction of figure's shadow to more accurately reflect the direction of sunlight.

John, would you mind sharing the low cloud/fog settings? Am looking for a similar effect in a current render.

I've changed the low cloud settings in this re-render, as I wasn't completely happy with them in the first render. Basicaly they're just Mid-level Altocumulus of depth = 150, size = 250, a roughness setting of just over 2, and with an edge sharpness of 1, and a cloud density of 0.0035.

John , i feel a little guilty for your effort but i think it was worth it  
It looks so nice! I was looking like your image there , downwards in the same direction .

I would say that you could play with the ground texture a little bit more , but i am worry that you will try to kill me  

Cheers !

I could look at this image for a long time and savor the fine work you've done.
