Valley Floor

Well I got burnt out on doing TGTP studies, so I've decided to throw together an image as fast as possible.  Turned out alright for the amount of time I put into it.

Detail: 0.7
resolution:  1600x800
render time: about 3 hours per processor (I used 4)
post work:  about 15 minutes of minor contrast adjust to bring out some emotion, minor color tweaking to bring out more detail, some slight lighting adjustments, selective sharpening

The background mountains are a .ter file I created in World Machine.  The clouds are an image map I painted by hand in PS.  The foreground is nothing but a few simple powerfractals stacked together with slight displacement, and redirect.

I really like this, it has a photographic quality to it.

Nice foreground detail, although the colors look a bit odd.

moodflow, nice "throw together".  Sheesh.  It's beautiful.

Great looking clouds man, awesome brushwork. Everything comes together nicely. Job well done.

This is very nice indeed. It has a great degree of realism but is a bit surreal or "dreamy" overall I think. Those clouds are especially interesting. Due to the light on the foreground it looks kind of like an HDR image taken with multiple exposures of a real camera and blended together. Did you do any kind of special manipulation or add extra light sources?
