The trees in the foreground are very realistic, and the snow cover is very good, too. I love the perspective, it looks like a real photograph!

Only thing I might suggest is some cirrus clouds BUT if the mountain is very high, then those may not be needed. Good work!

Lovely.  Seems a little fuzzy to me, though.

Great view Saurav! The composition adds a lot to the very nice sense of scale here.
Like buzzzzz I like the snow and distribution a lot.
I only have one crit; I think the distribution of the background trees could use some more variation.
All in all fine work! :)

Beautiful view and terrific sense of scale. The snow is awesome. Is the terrain procedural or a heightfield?
I agree about the trees in the background need a litte more variation. I also think you should render a bigger version ;)

Variation equals for one, color tonality differences. What does no one do this? It's clearly in nature everywhere you go.

The terrain is a heightfield, a DEM in fact. I found this lying around the HDD and thought 'lets see what this looks like', there was no name on the file so I can't say what part of the world it's from. Once I have time on my hand, I will render this out a little bigger and with a little more variation in colour for the trees. Thanks for comments folks.

Great! Am looking forward to see it. If I may be more clear about what I meant about the variation for the trees. I meant primarily more variation in density of the trees rather than color, though that is also a good suggestion.
Do you already know which DEM it is perhaps? And did you stretch it on the vertical axis? Seems so.

The terrain has been stretched on the vertical axis by a factor of 1.5. I don't have any more details regarding the DEM sorry apart from the fact it was in my "USA" directory with an arbitrary file name.

Verry Verry nice, looks like a photo.   8)

I do agree about the variation in the distant trees, both colour and density but this is an "Icing on the cake" improvement to an already excellent image.
