Nice work. I see that you used a surface layer for snow. In the tabs at the bottom of the surface layer there are altitude and slope. You can use these to control the heights (high and low) and the amount of slope the snow covers. It's fun to work with these, try one or the other first.
Try this tutorial written by John. It's very good. The pdf is just above the image.

Njeneb. That's a TG-Old image. Don't think that John's tutorial would be of much use in this instance.

Cycloneye, nice colours you have going there, shame about the reflection bloom of the sunlight on the water, it seems extremely large.

Most of my first T2 renders looked very Terragen 0.9x. It was what I knew how to use.

Well, welcome to the forum. I think you will do quite well with this program. There is a large learning curve, but it possible to make some very stunning images easily. After you have learned where the tools are, it becomes much easier.
