Here's a quickie ;D
Rendered entirely in TG, no trickery compositing this time.
Originally the idea was to try to re-create Michael Moorcock's "Ice Schooner" in some form, which I still intend to do. But during my initial research (Googling Ice Yatch) I discovered that Ice Yatch Racing is a real sport popular in Scandinavia, well you just never know.
Comments and Critique welcome as always.

Very good. It would be easy to assume this is a National Geographic photo. The only critique I might have is the lighting isn't quite completely photograph-like. But, hey...
I think the models and the ice are excellent ;) but i really think the clouds look unnatural and unfitting in this scene.
Yeah I do agree about the clouds, I'm working on another version using the techniques described in the "Ultimate" Cirrus clouds (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=5219.0) thread

The clouds are weird. With some changes in colouring you could turn them into the northern lights :D
Great work, the ice turned out really good. The only crit I have is that the models look just a little too perfect. Can you add some scrapes and dents?
Cool scene!
I think the snow and ice look very convincing already. However, the ice could be a bit less reflective.

clouds are chem trails ;D
Great scene, the clouds give it a Mojo look... ;)
