Those rockstructures on the far mid-left look freakin' awesome :) Of course the rest of the strata are very good as well, you made good use of Martchi's clip I suppose/guess? ;) :P
I think the water could use some work. I'm not really fond of the color but to be honest I can't think of a better color myself so far ;D
You might try to add a different density color and to make the water less transparent.

hehehe i didn't use anyone clip to do this one... just experimenting some strata values :)
and i really don't like the water, i did it this way because my wife wanted some blue and very transparent water... and i wanted it green and almost no transparency... maybe later i'll do another render ;)

Oh I'm sorry, but those rock-structures look so similar to the ones Martchi posted a while ago, well...you know which one I mean ;)
Nevertheless they're still very good!

And oh yeah...never listen to your wife, TG-wise ;) lol
I think your suggestion for greener and less transparent is indeed a good one.

By the way, haven't seen you online for some time, have you already thought about something for our teamwork?

hehehe i know which one you meant !!! the great strata stuff he did  (he was IOTW with it i think)
and you're right, i won't listen to my wife for my next renders :D

i was not online for some time because i don't have free times those days... but i will be this week-end and next week i think (before my 2 weeks holidays)  ;)

as for the teamwork, i must confess i don't have The Idea right now... but with more free time, i'll think about it much better ;)

Great detail on the caves!  The strata look a little too sharp.  I like the color o the water, though.

the stratas look sharp as i wanted them to be ^^
my main problem with this one is the water... hehe o_b, it seems that we have opposite tastes ;)

I like this very much.  The water on the left side doesn't seem to be hitting the rock...not sure why.  But, it's very good on the right side.

Really nice strata going on here.  One of these days I am going to have to sit down and really figure out the values in the strata shader.

Superbe roche, et une bonne mise en lumière c'est encore une réussite !

Most excelent render, love the strata, very realistic looking. Not too keen on the water, but as T-U said, I can't think of anything better to do with it so I'll just shut up  ;D

I have found from personal experience.... listen to your wife.... now... if she's anything like mine, she'll get her own way in the end anyway so you may as well cut the time scale down and do as she wants now, rather than later...  ;D

I love how different the inside of the cave looks to outside, all dark and gloomy. And the rocks are fantastic! Did you use an image overlay?

nope, powerfractal only ^^
i love image map look but i never think of using it... maybe later i'll do something with image map....

"Did you use an image overlay?" - This has to be one of the best compliments a person can get, when using only PFSs.  Ni-i-i-i-i-ice.

First thing I thought of was coal.  It reminds me of a large coal seam with tunnel carved out and water.  Great job.

The rocks are very good, very realistic.  The repeating pastern of the strata shows a little on the right but that is built into the shader and I don't know how to get rid of it either. 

One little thing; where is the light inside the cave coming from?  I know the atmospheric glow shows the internal structure and gives an impression of depth but without an actual light source inside the cave it should be completely dark in there.

the cave you see is not a cave but just a tunnel... so the light you see is coming from the sun ;)
