Early days yet, just a quick comp while I'm dressing the scene with foliage. Actually the only Terragen element is the terrain. The flora and shadows are comped from Maya... But yes, I take your point in embracing the shadows.

My advice would be to get more shadow into your scene (so the spots of sunlight are few and far between), don't try to force the shadows to be lighter than the path tracer renders (relative to sunlight) so the contrast between sunlight and shadow stays high, don't change the default sunlight diameter, and increase exposure to get the shadows where you want them to be.

I take your point, I think I need to get a bit more contrast more than anything. A lot of this is in the comp, so very tweakable. I found some nice reference after I started this and I'd like to get closer the the image below:
