Absolutely beautiful right now.

If you want some more nits picked :-) some little fiddly problems I see:

The water colors look like a tropical setting (and from the previous
discussion, I think that's what you wanted), but the trees do not look
like tropical trees.

Also, the ripples on the water look more like a lake than an ocean.
Making them look right for an ocean would be tricky, though, so I
wouldn't blame you for ignoring it. ;-)

But seriously, this is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm starting to
think about stealing it for desktop wallpaper.

Are you using media in the atmosphere at all? It feels like there's
scattering media or luminous bloom going on around the mountains or
trees, but I can't actually see it when I look close. I'm not sure what
you did, but it looks amazing. Your lighting is fantastic.

Beautiful. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when you look outside the
window and ask yourself what the particle density of the current sky is.
