Beautiful. It looks like it could be the Himalayas or the Alps.

Thanks all for the nice thoughts.

As for the picture, it took me the better part of two weeks to compose the scene. Then a higher rez version was lost in a power failure after 3 weeks of rendering. Ouch.

This one only took 136 hours at fairly low quality settings. The software is multi-thread compatible and needs a more powerful machine than my ancient G4. Maybe Santa will bring a new 8-core Mac Pro and a backup power supply.

If there are three apples, and you take two away, how many apples do you have?

awesome! the only thing is it looks kinda strange to me that the clouds are so low that they are that close to the water, but i guess that's just me.
Anyway, it's a great composition (incomparably better than anything i could do) :P
Thanks for sharing!

Looks fantastic, the sky is beautiful. Photoreal for sure. I feel there is too much water though, if its elevation was decreased a bit it might give the scene a more grand feel.

The easyest way to get a critique out of someone is to think about what they didn't tell you.
