Once upon a time.

There was a place of ancient glories.

Playing with soft minimum scalar.  added some sq noise, some clouds, some grass made in Speedtree and poppies from XFrog.

[Dune]

Nice one, fairy-tale like.

[mhaze]

Thank you all.  Dune, that's what I was aiming at - so glad you get that.

[bobbystahr]

Like as well; fairy tale/fantasy...the atmo rocks this one...

EDIT
just noticed the birds circling the tower...nice subtle touch.

[j meyer]

Nice indeed. Mood, the fantasy aspect, rocks in particular.

[Cocateho]

I like it! everything is very nice, but I love the clouds... gives it a certain depth and feel.

[mhaze]

Thanks.

[zaxxon]

A wonderful fantasy, with a small touch of menace lurking in the shadows. I really like this, nicely done!

Awesome work Mick

[fleetwood]

An all around beauty 

[otakar]

Cool! Really nicely worked out all the elements. This would not be lost at all as an illustration in a fantasy book or game background. In fact, I almost feel like printing it for my office wall collection of TG renders

[DocCharly65]

Really great cover for a fantasy book!

[mhaze]

Thanks for the kind comments - I'm particularly delighted that the mood I was aiming for has come across.
