A WIP i am still churning out the minor details to like tiny stones here and there. Final will be a larger render.

I like the chimney structure on the left, top of the rock outcrop.

You have this bit of geology looking very much as it should ...keep on.

Almost done. I need to lessen the bumps along the mountain face a bit and increase the talus.

Which one of the six rendering modes are you using. And, have you set anti-aliasing bloom from the default of '0'?

Cubic B-Spline soft and no anti-aliasing bloom is on. Why?

Just asking; the narrow cubic does give a certain sharpness that might bring out the details of the rock a little better. As for the anti-aliasing bloom, I find it good to use on certain close up scenes, especially where plants are a part of the image. Thought maybe you used it here.

I was under the impression that the AA Bloom was for the sun only. It is supposed to eliminate the harsh circle of the sun itself. I like the soft filter because it reminds me more of a photographic look where details are not as sharp.

The bloom not only "blurs" the hard edge of the sun's visible disc, but it also softens bright reflections on water or other reflective surfaces.
It can also help to get softer edges of models which are visually placed in front of the sun, like leaves of trees for example.

Nifty, well for this scene i do not have to worry about that.

OK, it is finished for now until i can for the future improve on it.
