This image was derived from one that I created earlier with Terragen 0.09 and posted in the Renderosity Terragen gallery on August 26, 2005 titled 'Pinnacle Bay' (http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1033288).
It was recreated using the same terrain and approximately the same POV. Credits are as follows:
• Terrain – 'Dotthy's' 1024 'Reef'
• Single Cloud Clip file – 'sonshine777' (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=3661.0). After many, many attempts to get the clouds to appear behind the terrain, I had my friend Buzzzzz look at the image file; and, he was able to adjust the clouds such that they now appear behind the terrain. Additionally, he moved the POV and adjusted the water settings.
Thanks to Dotthy, sonshine (Tom) and Buzzzzz (Jay) for your help.

Thanks for visiting.
Looks good Bob, the lighting plays well through the clouds. The haze and rays provide good depth and make for a very dramatic scene.
I'm glad you and Jay were able to get the clip file to work for you, and look forward to what others can do with it.

I like the lighting and, even with the haziness, it has a certain amount of mystery. Wish it were a tad sharper.
Nice work Bob :) The water and clouds are well done!
I agree with Calico about the haziness and sharpness. At which settings is this rendered?
I think increasing the exposure of your camera by 0.3 or so will greatly improve the image, unless it is really meant to have this tad dark lighting.
