SDL, I was thinking of the water too - it's like looking down at an otherwise extermely beautiful girl with misshapen legs. the snowflake plugin for photoshop (check my posts over the last few days) seems to work ok if you want to add snow and don't want to bother with a Byrce technique(check tjohns entry on that one theres a tut on bryce snow there). I am otherwise blown away by this image It's very good. - TJ
