You seem to have some clouds in the sky...
Nice tree distribution and surface detail.
I like the POV as well, like standing on a cliff edge or mountain top nearby.

Great POV, textures, and especially lighting! One of your best images from an artistic perspective, in my opinion.

Lot's of details to discover, very nice. I like that the view and the terrain allows to see many different "distances"... don't know if I'm making sense.

Cheers,
Frank

I really like the textures on the mountain. Nice work.

Thanks for the comments. This is probably the first time I have ever been satisfied using image map shaders and powerfractals together as textures. Granted I've probably never mixed this many together before either.

Absolutely fantastic. Lightning is very interesting and I'll definitely have to learn how to make such mountain displacements ;-)

I especially like how trees are lit up and the only thing I would "pick" are those trees in the foreground. Because of scale they would require some additional vegetation around them in my opinion. But it's just about being picky
