Mack, scmack. It's not that the image can't be seen, in my opinion. More, SirBlueArdor, that a bigger contrast between the lights and darks would help propel this picture into pricelessness! As a general rule of thumb, Sir, I don't use rules of thumb! But in this case, perhaps try changing the Ambience settings on all of your materials to the same value. Once this value is established, the image will be more "equalized", although what I meant by that was more along the lines of post-production. Like Photoshop or something equally preposterous. (To hell with 2D!) After that, maybe try playing with the Shadow controls in the Sky Palette, turning them from white shadows to dark, and adjusting the value to bring out more contrast... Just some ideas/answers?!
