Thanks Thomas,

yeah - I've to admit, the image isn't that bad.

Imho there are some points worth mentioning (look at the image detail):

- extreme light color (srgb <2.42,1.33,0.07> - sky color sums up to grey)
- subsurface lighting for the owl
- small normals for the snow
- downsizing from a 8000x4500 pixel render

the last three points are hardly visible, but contribute much to the "beauty".

Norbert

That's quite an understatement.

Yes, the contrast between "warm" and "cold" illumination certainly
contributes a lot to the scene.

> - subsurface lighting for the owl

Are you sure you mean the owl, not the foreground snow?

oh yes - this is what I meant with the small normals. At certain lighting
situations it fakes a bit SSLT (in combination with area light).
Furthermore there were visible artifacts at the owl even with acceptable
settings (radiosity on samples 50, 200).

Personally I've made good experiences with a JVP approach
(http://www.ignorancia.org/en/index.php?page=a-box-of-oranges). Probably I'll
use this method somewhere in the future as an excellent compromise between speed
and quality.

yes, stunning image. The sun on the landscape is very photorealistic. 
Only the owl/tree give it away to me.

*And* I learned that there's an 8-core i7 (that's a year old already).  
Only a thousand bucks.  Hmm...

I know, what you mean...

I bought my second PC one year before. In fact nearly double as fast as my
i7-3770 / 3.5 GHz with 4 cores / 8 threads.
But - very loud and my room becomes overheated (I own a passive house).

Indeed an amazing image. If you make this with a cold winter landscape,
then I wonder what more you will make with a tropical rainforest... :-)

Your skills are very good. I think (take this as a suggestion), you
should have a look at Japanese landscaping and landscapes, and try to
get their special plant ideas into your images. These Japanese gardens
achieve often a very special atmosphere. And with your skills, I think,
you could create a wide series of most beautiful and adorable nature scenes.

Or even this: a landscape, transforming gradually from a wild and
velupturous rainforest into a Japanese landscape with their typical low
ad designed plants.

Best wishes,

Sven
