the claw

Hi Gang,

I'd like to introduce my latest render "the claw".
C&c are welcome.
Objects (Gras and Bonsai) made by Klas, thanks a lot!

VERY atmospheric work here
I bet at the bottom of that cliff theres a big pile of bones and rocks!

Great moody work!

Exceptional!! Nevertheless two critics (matter of taste!):
-you used a "through camera"-mapping for the lighter rock texture, didn't you? Maybe you could try creating additional (projecting-) cameras and textures for each the side and the front with the appropriate orientation to make it less obvious. Just an idea.

- the fog could be a little more "smokey". I know that sometimes fog looks exactly like yours, but I'd love to see more noise.

Oh, that is cool.  Very nice technically, but especially creative.

[edit - I agree with Hannes about the clouds.]

Thanks a lot guys!

@Hannes: Yes, you are right, I used "through camera". I used an additional shader to  darken the surface though. I thought nobody would notice 

I am thinking of a second version of this pic, we will see
