Here is my first image with vegetation that I really like.
There is a population with three species of trees and bushes (of course everything by LIGHTNING!!! Thaaaaaaank you soooo much!).
The terrain is a TG 0.9 terrain by Joshu's hund of the german TG forum (danke Dir!), which I displaced with a cloud fractal shader and a strata and outcrops shader (not too obvious...).
I love this letterbox look to create this movie feeling. Hope you like it.

Nice, I like how the trees sit on the terrain.

Very nice, good use of the terrain and I like the vegetation... everybody use Lightning plants around here.

Love it! Fantastic work.

Like the terrain and the lighting.  Cool population.  Could maybe use a little more texture in the terrain.

I agree but just a little subtle variation in the rock.

It almost looks like a high, squat version of Devil's Tower with lighter colored rock. Very nice. Lighting on the front and the fill on the backside really helps sell it.

I agree with the other comments.  The black borders are a bit excessive, but that's not really a critique on the image.  Nice job!

wow nice image glad you like ma trees! i think my trees should be used at this sort of distance rather than ultra close

[Saurav]

Great lighting and use of vegetation. I don't mind the anamorphic view.

[Oshyan]

Very nice image. I think the subtle variations in the multiple populations work very well. Clouds are a bit noisy and ragged, that's all I'd say as a minor critique.

very nice light !

Beautiful render, great terrain and a good repartition of trees ! But I'm suprise by these clouds on the background ? The highlight is successful !

[Hannes]

Thanks a lot for your comments. The clouds weren't in the image from the first moment. I added them later, but you're right. They don't look too good.
I'll make another version. It's going to be a closeup of the part between the too mountains. Let's see if I can make it better.

Here's an update. I decided to replace the clouds by a sea surface and to add some islands. I added some more layers in the terrain surface shader to create a little more variety.
