OLd Canyon 2008

[Phylloxera]

Very good looking strata, like them very much
Though I have some crits/comments on the overall appearance:
somehow you managed to get big differences in the coloring of your surfaces, which firstly is very nice but on the other hand a bit strange because the difference in lighting is somewhat big. I guess you're using quite some imageprojection techniques, like in your last image you've posted?
I don't really agree wit Kevin F about detail 1. For detail 1 it is still a bit noizy, maybe increasing AA would also help, but maybe it is also because of imageprojection.
If I am right about that of course
Another strong point is the hot looking atmosphere, nice work on the haze!
In overall still a very good image.
Oh and by the way....120 hours of rendering: I assume this has been rendered with TGTP2?

I used no projection of image, surfaces are made with power fractal shader without any bumpmaping!!120 hours with TGTP3 ,Q6600

Ah really? Wow, I'm surprised to say the least. 120 hours with the 3rd preview...why did it take so long? High GI settings? (something like GI @ 4/4).
I'm also surprised you've only used powerfractals since certain areas seem to be very specifically colored, therefore my 'suspicions'

Gi relative 1 GI sample 2 size 2400*1200

Okayyyyyy !!

I'm trying to find something to say about this, but all that comes to mind is what I said out loud when I first saw it:

"Holy crap!"

VERY awesomely done.

Very nice work. 

I like the lighting and atmosphere.

However, the texture on the cliffs looks plain and flat for some reason (TG2 tends to have this alot, and hard to get around).  If you could dial the textures in a bit more (and make them look a bit more dusty), this image would be incredible!
