Well this is a vip mainly beacause it didn't turn out at all as I expected. Well, to be precise, the lower half didn't. I have no idea why my displacement is light years away from some test renders I made. But I will (hopefully) figure it out and then, post the final render in the next few days.
Anyway, I would be happy to hear some criticism to implement even more improvements in the final render.
t4v!

this rocks!...nice twisted displacements!...love the water too!
Hey, thanks! Yeah, I like that weird terrain, too, but you have to admit the lower part looks totally boring and... the very tiny displacement completely messed up my gras surface. : s
I love the terrain in the background and the lighting. My only advice is If you can't get the grass to work try using some plant models or maybe just cropping the bottom out. Either way it still looks great.
Very nice, except (minor exception) the forward grass / terrain looks odd.
I rerendered it with better foreground (I hope), new grass surface and higher contrasts (-> see first post).
