A very nice image. I was particularly impressed with the rocks & waterplants
in the foreground.
What did you use for your primary light source (sun)?
I think what most outdoor scenes seem to lack is contrast. The sun is
BRIGHT. It makes DARK shadows. In photography, this is a problem to
correct with fill lighting. For raytracers, its the opposite problem; how
to get that kind of brightness without overpowering the scene.

I've been playing with different ways to do sunlight. I'll be interested in
whatever you come up with!
