Orodruin
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. This is Orodruin, Mt. Doom, where the One Ring was created and later destroyed In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie. ;-)

Horo After rechecking the maps I see you are right. There should be an arm of Ered Lithui stretching across in the distance on the right. My bad. ;-)
FoxBoy I played around with haze settings but I finally decided to leave it out for the first render. I may try it again on the Barad-Dur image I eventually do. ;-)
Thanks for the kudos guys! This view is facing eastward with Ered Lithui (Ash Mountains) on the left and the Plateau of Gorgoroth on the right. Barad-Dur (The Dark Tower), which is not present, would be directly behind Orodruin. I'm contemplating doing a second image from a different angle showcasing my eventual vision of Barad-Dur with Orodruin in the distance. I just have to figure out how to create the Eye of Sauron, which I think will be the biggest challenge. That image will most likely be done with a wider FOV. This present image was done with an FOV of 90.
Great, Have you tried adding a haze to the base of the moutains
A minor flaw: there should be mountains in the background at right as well or Orodruin moved more to the right to cover the missing mountain ranges. Nevertheless, I still stand to what I wrote above.
Good dark scene, could probably do with a bit of orange haze perhaps? Or maybe a wider camera angle to lend it that sense of awsome scale?
You catched the spirit excelently.
