Morning in the High Valley

An alpine valley morning, the valley floor obscured by cloud. Summer is coming and the mountains are shedding their coat of snow.



Vue 7. 'Terrain' fractal with a few procedural additions (my inevitable inverted spike Voronoi cracks) and some glacial erosion. Clouds took forever to get right. Cloud quality settings were ludicrously high to to prevent the usual Spectral 2 noise and this small image took 12 hours to render! Rock and snow material created from scratch as I didn't like the look of the built in pre-sets - not entirely successful but better than a kick in the head.

Critique very welcome (no sub so can't ask for a 'Critique' critique but I'd appreciate constructive opinions, tips or suggestions.)
