This is really good Tim, as if you didn't know.

Someone said before how the snow seems more like desert sand dunes than
desert snow dunes and I can't get that out of my mind still. It's the tinge
of red still in there that does it, even though it's basically a gray-blue
instead. Maybe what I'm trying to see here is a lot more nearby bluish
places from sky reflection, something like where that spot is far right and
on the horizon. Likewise the igloo itself, a more blue-white on the shadowed
side would seem icey to me. And the shadow/light contrast of the ground
isn't as different as I'd expect to be seeing, which I guess someone had
also said in a previous thread if I remember that right.

Got to ask this then, are you using assumed_gamma 1.0? I try to use that and
always find myself leaving it out or specifying anywhere from >1.0 to < 3.0.
I probably shouldn't but when all else fails I start changing the gamma.
Afraid any change like that would destroy that sky though.

Fellow believer in endless scene tweaks,
Bob
