Hmm, well to start- I congradulate you on your smooth and seemless photoshop work. I guess I have only a few suggestions that may improve this image and later works of yours. Primarily, the sky is very nice, but pixilated. I'm guessing you're using the trial version, which is good- but consider going full ver for best quality. The sky looks like it might be the standard 4092 @ 60 height, in which case you want to maximize you're resolution and go 10000 size @ 400 or 500 height. This makes the clouds look much more realistic and the atmospheric blue do its job better. Next, the water is very nice and a rich teal on the right, but the left is a strange purple. You may want to play around with colors to make that correspond with the teal. Hmm...Use the waterworks plug in for the waters edge to make it look more realistic (if thats your goal) [You can find water works online, just search for it]. Aaaaannnddd Finally, the texture mapping is interesting with the mix between light sand, dark sand, and rocks, just try to render your pictures at the maximum allowed (1290 x 960) and reduce it in photoshop using bicubic reduction (Standard image size change) to something about this size to make the best use of your pixels. Other than that, great work, and keep trying- I think you're destined for great terragen things. =) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*****PS I parused your gallery, and I think you should know something. The web is limited in its colors and quality of pictures, so photoshop 7 has the awesome thingie called "save for web". What this does is it saves pics in an ultra condensed format so you can get higher quality, larger pictures for the same disk space. So when you upload to r-Rosity, make sure its a saved for web thumbnail and you can reach the maximum resolution so you get more hits on your pix. =D (I liked radiant!)
