very very beautiful work Russ!!
Great composition and colors. Love how you can just see the lake in the bottom.
Is it your hand I see in the upper right cloud??
This is marvelous. And of course it's in my renders fave file. You've hit reality over the head with this gorgeous render. Since I can't come close to this in rendering or in real, I'm glad you can and are sharing it with the rest of us!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
