The sun light is just great IMHO. I would add some fake stones and some pines. See if you can find some photos of the northern California coast. They will help with the scales and populations.

Version 2. A sprinkling of rocks and two populations of Wallis' pines.

Looking good. There are more plants available at Terragen.org . If you are using the freeware version, Walli's 2nd pine shows more variation using populations. Mixing these with other types of trees helps the variation also.

hey i think its looking good-
I prefer the feel of the first render to be honest.
Are you aware of methods of post processing 32bit images?
I would suggest saving out of TG2 as a .exr and playing with the intensity of shadows / highlight in post.
32 bit allows you to play around with huge amounts of dynamic range! :)
Good stuff

looking good, so far!
maybe increase the edge softness of the clouds and increase the smallest scale of the cloud fractal?
