One of the most photo realistic TG2 renders I've seen yet!

I love your choice of colours for the grasses, something that for me is very hard to get right

Everyone else has said it all, I'll just add another "Wow!  .. Dude! .. Cool!"  Gorgeous render!

Stunningly realistic, loads of details, can we have it bigger

Did you use lower-quality treepopulations for the background mountains?
5 hours for an image like this seems very quick to me, unless you also have a crazy i7

They were normal quality population, although I could have probably got away with using low quality at that distance. There are no complex displacements in this scene so I have a feeling that cut down the render times. A crazy i7 would be a dream right now.

I'll work on rendering out a bigger version as soon as I finish some of my upcoming projects.

I tend to use the colour picker and get samples from real photos to change texture colours in photoshop. I believe it helps with realism.

I think you should post this over at CGTalk and see what people say.
They usually pay more attention to naked girls and characters, but this is a landscape render in a class of it's own.

I might just do that.
