Bonney Glacier (updated)

Better...but I still liked the lighting through the trees on your first one.  I love how real that glacier looks.

I would disagree - the second version looks too dull. The first version had something that was lost in the second.
I would actually keep the setup of the first version, and only increase tree density, while at the same time reducing the size of the trees.

I knew it was off.  I need to calibrate my monitor at home better.  Here is the reworked file done on the computer I usually finish my renders on.

Yes, much better now!
I would still decrease the size of the trees, though. I believe it would give an awesome sense of scale if you did.

very good colours, like dreamy...

Much better - you've really hit the spot with the texturing now.

Wow, awesome work!
I really love the trees. Agree with Frank that they could be a tad smaller for improving the sense of scale, but damn...they look so photorealistic. smooth and detailed. How did you do that? Just rendersettings or tweaking specular and translucency? Can you tell me something about that here or via PM? I'm glad to see how
The displacements look nice, like the patchy strata and voronois here and there.
The ice surface could use some lateral displacement but I know it ain't easy...I still keep my opinion about the ice's glow. It looks rather like superdense glowing cloud to me than a glacier. But I might be too much after realism rather than something more artistic.
All in all still fantastic work!

Oh my God!  That's wonderful work.  GREAT!  This last one is my favorite.
