This one came out nice.

this looks quite good, :) i like the displacements & surfacing made, looks realistic.
lovely terrain.....
how are you able to upload the original size of your renders.....flickr resizes my uploads to 1024 px automatically
I have a pro account. You also have to go to the view all sizes. Then click on the full size. I just copy the URL from the address bar after that.
This is very cool, I like it a lot. If you are still interested in tips, then I'd say experiment a little bit with clumping population distribution - instead of using an even distribution like you did here. Look at Seth image with these mirages in the sky for example - great tree distributon there.
Also - I hope you don't mind, I gave in to the temptation to enhance your render in post. I had fun playing with applying image edjustments, and the attached was the outcome.
Cheers,
Frank
commented at flickr....love the trees, what species?
Walli's pines, Walli's dry bushes, and Dandelo's Maples (spring leaf variation.)
simply frigging amazing!!
Fantastic terrain and well lit
Great terrain and lighting, Henry. You should pursue this one. Like Frank says, play a little with color enhancement. Although I must say, your enhancement, Frank, is too hard (for my monitor anyway). Whites are bleached, darks are too black. I also must say that I don't really like the very harsh images. In natural environments there is always a little haze that gives the blacks a little grey, even at small distance. Softer for the eyes, and enhancing images needs careful manipulation.
@Dune: yeah it probably was a bit extreme (I sometimes like that)
