Description
This is a continuation of the thread: http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,18628.0.html .
For personal reasons , the past several weeks have been counterproductive; but during what time I've had, I've been able to rework the image 'Summer Dusk' based on some of ideas and suggestions of Ulco, Oshyan, and others.
Several changes and additions were made, namely:
• Ulco - Added two additional suns at approximately 180 degrees from the main sun and reduced enviro-light. Added a PF in the Water group for some small wavelets. Added a Vortex shader on the water which surrounds a mossy boulder. I tried Ulco's idea of adding a jumping fish coming out of the vortex/water but found this not to work out to well based on scale and distance from the camera. Added a few clumps of reeds along the shoreline. Thanks Ulco.
• Oshyan - There were no vegetation models on the distant hills. I added a population of bushes covering about 40% of their surface. Tried reducing Highlight intensity Water shader/Reflective shader; and, increasing the Strength on surfaces at 2 and GI Surface details settings at higher values. After trying these setups, I elected to go with the two suns and reduction of GI. Thanks Oshyan.
All plant models are by Walli with the exception of Ulco's Heather and the Terragen Grass clumps.
Enjoy.

Looks pretty darn good. You picked just the right shade of gold for the sunset. Good sense of depth and plants look like Mother Nature did it herself.

I have to admit, I do like the lighting better and the golden reflection on the water is gorgeous! The extra plants on the side of the stream are very natural feeling, too!! Overall, Yes it is much better, but it was not bad before!!!

The vortex shader didn't work realistically, but the rest of it is beautiful. I like the reeds. The rock and lighting are also very nice.

Nice sunset.

I suppose one has to stand in the water to look at this? Better to have taken the water to one side a bit I reckon. But that's just moi.! Lot of work here and well justified. rat.

I like this one, it is very naturelly. The sun on the plants with the touch of gold and the rock in the foreground are a great detail in the whole scene.
