Santuary Hills
Not much to say except I think I went crazy placing the trees and bushes. I added a couple of "Radial" lights to give the effect of sun spots on the hills. Used "Regular" AA.

Gorgeous, just beautiful. Comments you have received on improvements seem just right. Really like the light as it falls onto the architecture.
Thank you all for the comments. I had to quit on the Interior Designs for awhile to see if I could still do Landscapes, lol.
Getting the wave size right is difficult, at least, I struggle with it most of the time. The pattern and the water itself look very good and "wet". The radials for the su spots is a nice idea. Never thought of that. It is more controllable than engage cast shadows for the clouds. Also the forest with the spikes in the distance is very well done. Great vegetation, also the logs and the fallen trees. That took time, I'm sure. Very very well done, this one, really.
Indeed it is, like Anurin says. Beautiful reflections on the water surface. You just need to make the waves more detailed (they affect the scene scale diminishing it) by increasing the materials wave-pattern percentage. Although if this scale-decrease effect was what you were looking for, then I'd say that what I see is a wonderful and realistically convincing mini-island with more so convincing mountain range behind.
Amazing!
