I've been meaning to render this one for a while now and finally got the chance this weekend. It is more of a clouds study than anything but I rather like it. ;D
Postwork in Photoshop.

Nice work! There are a couple of lines that look like they could be the product of the acceleration cache, though - did you have that turned on?
Your noise fractal and settings are both definitely spot-on, though.
Up near the top of the image, the clouds seem to become more regular and have a similarity. Maybe a distance shader would help break this up?
looks really good....
This looks really good, love it :)
What's the setting for warp in the fractal? It seems the clouds are quite skewed to the left.
Cheers,

What GI settings did you use? I think there a a lot of details in the clouds shadows and I'd like to know how you did that :D
O_B - Acceleration cache was on.
njeneb - Yes, the background is much too uniform and that is something I am trying to fix. While I could try to break it up with a distance shader I would like to try to get variants in the cloud height.
Tangled-Universe - I think I had the fractal warp setting at 0.5. or somthing close to that.
Rhalph - GI was set to 2, but I think alot of the detail comes from the cloud sharpness settings.

That's also something currently on my TODO list. I have a few ideas, but the most practical one so far is to simply work with a larger number of cloud layers. I'll be posting a test-render shortly, as soon as it's done (still got stuff in the render queue in front of it. Dang I need a few 8 core Mac Pros. :-) ).
@nvseal - you must have mean O_B. ;D But, I would have asked that question, too. :P
Nice to see your work. It's been a long time and your work is a pleasure to see.
Beautiful as always!

That's right, my bad. :P I think I'm getting peoples avatars confused.
Excellent clouds.
