The atmospheric haze in the second scene is excellent.  The texture of 
the terrain is also amongst the best I have seen.  The clouds are good, 
but if you hadn't told me they were made with media I would have guessed
stacked planes.  They seem to exhibit some of the artifacting of that 
method?  I guess I would expect crisper edges on the near clouds. 
Anyway it is nitpicking.  The overall accomplishment of a general 
landscape generator and the combined use of media for both clouds and 
atmosphere is a remarkable accomplishment.  And conceptually satisfying.
