Free Fall

Well, I finally have the heart to show a picture here. Feels a bit awkward among a crowd of such talented folks. But anyway, here we go...

This picture was my contribution for the May Contest of www.terragen-masters.de, the topic being "Cliffs". It came off suprisingly well. The only criticism was that it lacks some sort of river. So I thought I'd post it here, perhaps you folks have some further ideas for improvement...? I don't know if I will ever update this render, though, but your hints might give me ideas for the future.

Very dramatic pov - the cliff and its surface is excellent; tremedous sense of scale too

Yep, a small riverbed would be great.
Nice to see you working with tg2 again. And to see your renders are still great.

This is awesome! I love the roughness of the cliff

Excellent quality render. Especially like the top of the cliff with the grass hanging over the edge. Maybe have a suicidal adrenaline junky para-leaping over the edge.

this is awesome I love the cliff displacement and texture are you using the free version of terragen 2?

Thanks everyone for your very positive comments. I personally see some flaws here and there but that's probably due to my looking at this picture for hours...

Hey Goms, old sport! How's it shakin'?

Just tell me if you need a lift from the airport to the station, right?

No, I'm not, actually, why?

Brilliant work on the cliff. The clouds look a bit like a flat backdrop image though.

Very nice render! Just tell people it already has a gorgeous river, its just covered by all the trees along the bottom.

Hm, that wouldn't work as trees don't grow in water. Or it would have to be a very small brook or something.

Excellent cliff face detail. Would you have any tips to share? Or a clip file? Very nice work.

Cool work man! I really like the fractal work on the lower left. Great sense of scales and depth as well. Very nice work!
