Morning Bay
This is a variation of Foggy Bay. I wanted to show off the detail of the terrain and the materials applied to it. The challenge ended up being the part of the terrain under water, which required more attention. Rendered in Bryce 7 Pro, 64 RPPs and took about 7 hours to finish.

Horo, Thanks for the advice! I'll do some adjustments and maybe I'll do a redux version of the image :)
I doubt that the terrain can be seen underwater from thids distance, though I might be wrong. Water is transparent, that is correct, but it also has a refraction index other than air. Try to set Refraction for the water plane to 133 (this corresponds to 1.33) and see how it looks. Use no or only ab tad of reflection for water, refraction is taking care of it. I usually have transparency at 99.6, reflection at 0.4 (or less) and refraction at 133.
