Description
Two renders on this one with water, one without. I feel that I could have done a better job in some respects, and I welcome feedback. Needless to say, it is a lesson learned.
Happy Friday, y'all - and thanks for looking in!

Cleverly done - the terrain is magnificent; excellent sense of scale!

A fantastic terrain with an interesting focus on the crater thingy. Good hazy misty feel and I like the sun rays. This effect inside the crater? is fantastic!

very well done(IMHO)I'm gonna have to try this one day!!!:)

At first sight I couldn't understand the light part on the right hand side, read your text and was asking me if this is the water, until my eyes touched the crater ;-) I like the surface except for the amount of bump on the lighter part. I get a feeling of imbalance here, as the crater itself isn't quite within the rule of 1/3 and the bright area almost is. Nonetheless I am studying this image longer than any others of yours (searching for vegetation and green skys) so it is quite fascinating - guess that the above mentioned imbalance is just a part that gives this render a tense mood.

Nice for me, superbe cratere... but I d'nt like the right side of your picture Levaleton

Excellent surfacing and effetcs of 2 level water! one though is that i expect green surfaces in some parts, thats why at least in this planet, it rains often to do a lake crater!!

Maybe a simple judicious cropping might free this up a bit like Haroon says. Sometimes I render a bigger area and then play with the cropping tool to see if I can improve the balance. Nevertheless, the water adds interest and variety. Love the cool terrain and the surfaces are intriguing.

Very cool terrain! I like the water inside the crater and the light colours of the haze on the right.

This looks like a very ancient and worn landform. Excellent presentation of a terrain, atmosphere, surfaces and lighting!

Interesting image! so desolate and almost sad i dunno too much about tereagen, thanks for the invitation, Rich. i must say that the water looks so real! i love the fact the scene dont look as a mere photo, there are lots of landscapes around the world to do that but this image has a very personal feeling, the terrain is impressive as well! the upper right part of the image dont look as good as the rest of the scene cause the myst cuts a bit abrupt. i would love to see the crater a bit to the left to work a better yet composition following the 3rd's rule, since the main actor here is the crater itself. a real original POV and overall excellent image! i think that i will do a humble try with the terragen software to understand a bit more this kind of works. thanks again Rich, for your personal invitation :)

I think it's the only way to get water up there (apart from post working it in), and you've combined the renders well; excellent work with the usual exemplary standard of surfacing.

awesome Rich. I even like the right side, lol. It makes it feel like this caldera is on the edge of a flat barren desert

Beautiful structures here !! Excellent work !!

Wow, Wow, Wow. This is the look that gives your style the signature you earned. Awesome overlook, and surfacing. Magnificently rendered. Vote.
