This is great. The only thing I could comment on is that the mountains in the background look a little bit unrealistic, but hey its no big problem. Great work!

a good terrain here! the water nice too... especially the shores... looks good particularly. only the surface map could need a bit more work. overall colors look fantastic... nicely done. not perfect but good. keep it up!

Altough I prefer working with photography I think this one deserves a comment. The concept it self is great and I can only imagine the computation weight that generated this. Th lighting seems ok as well as most textures. There are somethings worth reviewing though. The far clowds on the right seem ok but the nearest (also on the right) ends up too sharply which (although phisically possible) is quite unlike to happen in reality. The huge clowd on the left ends up ok but its central region is too hogeneous to be feasible. Also the step like construction of the land mass seems too regular to be real and without any noticeable forces that support it unlike to appear in reality. Overall... The image itself looks good, the colouring is great and if I were to use desktop images (I don't) I would have no problem using this one... It is quiet, peacefull and would make anyone's job on a computer quite enjoyable. But if you were aiming to a more realistic landscape you should consider reviewing those points. Nevertheless... good work!

okay... i love you

The mountain steps i was all confused about them cuz i knew they would be very real, i was like umm lets suppose this isnt Earth (purple atmo n stuff), so other lifeforms live there so yeah, maybe they manipped the terrain to odd shapes, but i was then like wtf... that's even odder, so yeah i decided that god (or whatever) made it that way, the clouds yeah... you're absolutely right but i dont know hoy to fix that in Terragen, i might try to do some Photoshop manipulating to make the clouds seem more real. i'll update if i get a good result

WOW the right side is some amazing Terragan work. The left side however needs some work along the coastal line. Its not looking realistic where the water meets the land. Thats all the crit I have for this one great job.

doesnt look that way cuz the cam is far away from the coast line, in the original render look better but im not posting a 3000x2000 render , so yeah um...
but yeah thx for the comment
