Very nice image Klebnor. I usually mention Carrara as a good alternative because of its features and compatibility. I didn't think much of its landscape abilities but DustRider showed some very nice stuff he'd done in that area. I have often found Carrara renders somehow a bit pale or undersaturated is the best way I can describe it. Again, there are certainly examples where that isn't the case. In your image, it works very well and gives it a nice light airy atmosphere.

We have to remember that each of these application's render engines has its own distinct "signature" look, at least out of the box. Depending on one's tastes and the techniques used, that may be percieved ad under saturated, grainy etc. Usually, there are ways to alter that in the settings or even post effects like film grain. Whether you like  that siignature look and how easy it is to change varies  a gread deal I'm sure. I've never been one of those 'I can always tell V4' people but looking through freestuff, I can 'always' tell a Bryce item and often a Vue one as well. A lot of that is probably down to people using default settings I  imagine.
