This one develops nicely!

Well the bare mountains in the back look a bit like the surface of the
moon but this pic improves from posting to posting and shows all the
dedication you put into it. 

Will you add some Seattle scenery to it?

The moon IMHO is too bright. I work on a scene at the moment were I also
added a moon.

I thought I may be of interest for you so I attached the part of the
picture to this post. 

Here's the code I used for it:

object {
sphere {<0.5,0.5,0>,0.5 
pigment { image_map {tga "moont.tga" once interpolate 2 }}
finish  {ambient 3.0}
translate <-0.5,-0.5,0>
scale 100
  }
 }


What do you think?

P.S.:
I canceled my first answer because the attached got messed up!
Hopefully this one works!
