Description
The sun sets on another day, but what will tomorrow bring?
I was working on the elusive "bliss" effect by following the Terranuts tutorial. The effect is just about forming in this render, but it's not quite obvious enough. However, I did like the overall effect so I thought I'd release it anyway.
The only post-work was to soften the waterline and make it less regular, which was done using the smudge tool in Fireworks.
As always your comments/feedback are welcome to help improve my Terragen skills.

The bliss is obvious enough to make a great effect in this image! I like the soft atmo/light! A great POV..

I suggest you cut the bottom of your picture (the foreground terrain) and keep the other part which is excellent (so you will obtain a nice panorama on distant lands).

Deserves more comments. I like this overall very much. Try to keep to about 1000 X 750 for viewing as a whole composition. Nice hills and sky. POV is terrific. I also like to make the underwater surfaces different than the stuff on the land for more variety. Cheers.
