I agree about the vegetation, just not that easy to include it in the
isosurface, adding it as seperate objects via trace does not seem that elegant
to me :-)

11 hours - ouch, mind you judging by the result, well worth it, how long did
you spend modelling and texturing??

Wow!  That looks like a canyon with steep sides and a dry riverbed.

Wonderful landscape. Too bad about the render time, but I guess it is to be
expected with this much of topological detail.
I haven't seen such formations first-hand and can't comment on the realism. The
mesa (?) seem to made of some sedimentary rock like sandstone, aren't they
usually made of harder rocks like granite? But I really don't know, and it looks
good as is.

Keep working! I know this kind of work can be very trying on your patience...

It was not that difficult, but it's easy to say if you always have to wait hours
even for a partial render.

I know, several nights starting a render in the evening and recognizing some
mistakes in the morning... It's quite a new way to work when dealing with such a
slow matter.

That's about what it's meant to be, i don't have a real object i derived this
from, it's just from imagination, memory and the caprices of randomness :-)
