Thanks for your input guys. A lot of these ''romantic' artists have put stuff together just to make it look good, be it medieval cityscapes or landscapes. And why not? I might get into that Bierstadt terrain again, get those ragged peaks in (not too hard). But I'll remain with this one for now. And...
you're absolutely right on this, Badger; I am refining until I get mad. There are so many possibilities, and I just can't choose. I want it all. And...
Jochem, your method I indeed just used, although not localized but hitting random until it looked right. Localize is a good idea!
Latest iteration before final, I think, where I have to cover some bare ground in front, and maybe put some low lake mist near the further coast to obscure the sharp line. A bit more turbulence in the water than this as well.
