Agree, waterfall was a pain to do - I just did a test with it a little narrower and it looked a lot better, we shall see....  Think I'm going to add some sheep or better still some goats

This is really well done. The rocks look fine to me, but perhaps I don't usually examine the details too closely. It's indeed much harder to sculpt rocks like these than sandstone formations and have them look realistic close to the camera. The vegetation mix is good while there may be some scaling issues as pointed out. I also am not a huge fan of the waterfall, maybe it's too regular in shape and consistency, but it stands out too much IMHO. The creek is great though! Oh and the POV is well chosen.

Cheers otakar, The waterfall is going to change and I hope to slightly change the rocks to improve them - will be a few days though.

I like it a lot. Cant say that I have seen rocks like this in person. But the rocks look like other landscape art I have seen online, that I also like a lot.
For me it has a fantasy feel to it, the way the grasses flow over the rocks and through the crevices.
I will like to see this once you got it just the way you want it, at a big size and high quality render.
It has been eaten.

I agree with most said, but mostly with the fact that the waterfall is too simple. If you have your terrain quite complete you can draw in a painted shader (brush suitably decreased, and preview frozen), following cracks and lowest areas for a more realistic fall. Indeed not covering everything, as if the water streams under or behind rocks and crevices.
I would also like to see more diversity in the grasses, some dried out parts (population variation and/or different species).
Otherwise, when viewed for the first time, it seemed very photographic and rich in detail.

Good advice Dune, trying it now.

I would like to chime in and say that this is a really beautiful scene!  ;)

Oups I forgot this one. I very like the composition and his beautiful depth. Clouds and mountain in back ground adds to the depth. Nice terrain with a different shape of Terragen. Nice vegetation to. I very like this one and thanks for the links. !!!   :)
