Something I did yesterday. Consider it a WIP, as there are some things I'd like to improve and add.
Still a very promising picture !
Background mountains seem too rounded to me, but I love the ice shader you've come up with and which you continue to refine. The foreground details are nice too, interesting colors.

The glacier itself is very well done, but the snow distribution on the background mountains looks a bit too regular. Keep up the good work!
Echoing darth and Oshyan - excellent glacier, background mountain needs a little work.
Another one rendering now. I had this image (not mine) in mind as reference. I agree about the much too simple perlin mountains, but they were only a start.
This was done yesterday, but still no good (don't like the snow), and another one is boiling right now. I figured some yurds would be a nice feature, so I made these.
Today's render, and another one cooking (with more sun)
Today's render looks really good. The yurts look much better also. The glacier still needs a little tweaking if you are working towards the glacier in the photo.
I like the last one very much , Dune :)
i am not sure myself , but do you think the yurts scale is right ? Maybe they could be just a little bit bigger?
The last one is really great. The glacier looks very natural I guess.
the latest one is really nicely done!....the only thing is the color of the background mountains....
Here's another version, without post work. Some random hits on nodes here and there.
Very good - the foreground is more convincing now, as before it seemed too rocky for those yurts.
I like the progress....
Another (last) version, now with two kinds of yurd (they were cold inside, so they closed the door), some more streams and the glacier (after a random hit on the crevices) with shadows turned on. And some alpine as the origin of the glacier. Only the smoke is post.
*Great* glacier. The background mountains are a bit odd ("spider veins"?), but otherwise it looks great.

Thanks, Oshyan. Well, maybe I should have taken a normal backdrop mountain, not the alpine shader. I think I prefer the version without the backdrop mountains anyhow.
Yes, I think they may just be distracting to the image in this case.
By the way, is it "yurds" over there? I think it's "yurts" here. Either way I love these structures. I lived in one for about 6 months when I was young. :)
- Oshyan
Yes, yurt of course. How come you lived in one?
It was the only structure on a piece of land we owned at the time I think.
- Oshyan
Very, very nice. The huts need some life (smoke, outside tanning hangers, people gathering)...I love the whole thing. This is just a wishlist. ;D
good render, man ^^
i really like the atmosphere here and the light is good too.
good job
