What do you mean by 'wrap the light around the edges'? If you want to tone the mountains down, make them less obvious, you could add some local thin mist/cloud to that area, maybe even light it up internally.

This is a version without the blur/dof.  I think what I disliked about this was the hard edges along the distant mountains.  I think the right look would have been to wrap the light over the edges, but I didn't set it up with mattes so I could put together in comp.  Learning a lot about terragen, and you guys have been a great help...  Thanks so much.

I know what you mean by light wrap, though in this instance I doubt you would really need much as it's looking quite soft back there anyway.

@Dune, light wrap is a method of faking ambient light bounce and is normally used with multiple layers or when a greenscreen subject is sitting in a new environment. It blurs a copy of the background softly over the edges of the foreground. It is a genuine optical effect that occurs with soft lighting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_light

@AJCGI,
You got it.  Just enough to seat the image into the scene and not look as if there is a distinct separation line ( try to keep it very subtle).

Thanks pclavett, really appreciate that!

Thanks, ajcgi. Good to know that.
