good light and clouds !!!
too bad for the sun... it seems it needs more AA to look round

Simple but effective.  Really nice.

I would probably have made this a wide panoramic format just using the bottom two fifths.

Very nice image; makes me want to get on the plane right now for vacation.

You could fix the sun AA problem in Photoshop in a matter of seconds, also maybe just a tiny bit of film grain to knock down the banding (jpeg artifact on that?)

Like the setting, the sun and the color.

Having recently worked with quite shallow gradients I am starting to think that the banding I am noticing in some TG skies is a limitation of my LCD monitor rather than a true render artefact.

here the next version of this image....

I set the sun little bit higher....

detail 0.95, AA 10, cloud samples 512

I like how you did the sun.  Looks like the beginning of a movie.  We should see jet fighters coming up in a twirl from the middle upward, pulling clouds with them as they rocket.

very nice again !

[Mr_Lamppost]

The new one does look better, it's a shame about the Horizon Through The Clouds bug though; one to render again with the next update.
