Hi all, I'm new to Bryce (and 3D rendering as a whole really!), and I would really appreciate some feedback. Mostly because one of the skills I need to learn and master is being able to spot whats good and whats bad in my renders, and a good way of doing that is to learn via feedback.

The image I've posted here is something I'm using to learn Bryce. I'm taking it slowly, and one step at a time. If you follow the URL, you'll see my first version that some of you may have seen in my gallery.

So anyway, what I really to know is whether you think I've achieved a more interesting landscape?

One of the difficulties I've had is making the Red/Orange sun bright enough to match its actual light source. I've used a volumetric flat shaded sphere (as per the tutorial at: http://www.brycetech.com/tutor/bryce/multiplesuns1.html). Unfortunately I've just not been able to colour or brightness match its material against its light source properties. In this image I've added a haloing effect with PSP to attempt to make the sun look brighter. Has this worked?

Thanks in advance for any advice you care to administer :o)
