I'm curious: How did you set up your distant mountains? Are they bump mapped terrains? What scale did you work in? Is everything just setup so it looks good, but is actually very close? Or, did you set a somewhat realistic distance? Are the birds objects? Or, flat planes with a trans map? Nice image! I've been experimenting with landscapes, what with the new trees in C3 now and all, but I keep running up against an old computers limits. :< (With a new baby @ home, I don't get much chance to do anything there, and the work computer just isn't up to the task.)
