Description
Took some of your guys advise, most noticeable, I changed the light in front of the Buhda to a lens flare.
I added some green to the gradient on the island (and made the island bigger).
The Buhda was a little too "clean" for a statue sitting in the ocean, so added some procedurals to "roughen" him up a little.
I added some color to the clouds as well.
FYI: Rendered on a MAC G4 tower with 500mhz twin processors, 512 mb of memory,
and Lightwave 6.5. I prefer "building" my models and scenes on my PC (twice as much memory, Lightwave 7, but only 1 processor), but the MAC seems to render faster.

Did you model the Buddha? Excellent modeling work if you did... it looks like a Thai Buddha image from the Sukhothai period. I wouldn't place this particular pose on the water as this is the one where Buddha is calling on the Earth as his witness (with one hand on the ground) in combatting the demon, Mara.

Well, Actually his hand is still on the ground, under the water :) No I didn't do the model The Buhda is a freebee (3ds) model from 3D Studio (http://www.the3dstudio.com), the sunset is volumetric clouds, from a how-to article off the net. I just tweak'd and textured things to my liking.
