Wow, this must have taken quite a bit of time to render this noise-free?
Very nice work, great rays and 'daring' to put the majority of the scene into shadows. I wish more people would try this.

Hear! Hear!, creates great drama in a still. A lot of great painters used this device.

detail 1?
that seems extreme?!

Same my render farm guy does. Always 1 detail and extreme atmospheres (too extreme) but still says Terragen still renders are hardly anything in comparison to other programs which is why he feels it's no consequence to up the scales. I can make a abstract simple render in C4D with no material that'd take days. Lol

Pretty much a waste of time and energy (power). Use 0.75 detail, don't bother going higher in the vast majority of cases.

I've gone over this with someone else  on facebook who I had render grass close up spreading far at 0.75 detail and 12 AA and 1 detail at 12 AA and you could clearly see the choppyness in the 0.75 detail version.

Grass won't be affected by render detail unless it's not being raytraced, and it should be raytraced. There are definitely specific circumstances where you can benefit from using higher main Detail, but they're a lot more infrequent than many people seem to think.
