Looks like it's going to be some *very* tricky lighting there. Interesting to
see how the final works out. Good luck!

Hey, Mick, let's see the d_i version, hmm? Or is it still rendering? :)

Let me guess:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Her's the d_i version as you can see the grass is much lighter and has more
definition and interest.

Sorry Mark, yer wrong, it's more like:
"I'm the king of the castle, you're a dirty rascal" From a childhood game
and a particular memory.
though i must say I like your quote, might try something on those lines

I think the placing of the grass will need a lot more work, at this stage I
was just happy to get trace and eval_pigment working together. I want to try
and break up the grass on the top of the dunes, my next challenge. BTW can I
use an image_map with eval_pigment? then I can paint the location of the
grass. The lighting is meant to be early evening - yes, the sky is probably
too bright another factor to fiddle with!

You sure can.

I won't even attempt judging if it looks right - I've witnessed much less
realistic evening skies in the "Big Blue Room" :)
If anything, perhaps the upper atmosphere should be a deeper blue, or perhaps in
places a slightly greenish hue.

I must say, I didn't expect the improvement to be so dramatic. The grass looks
great now.

It could also be Hayling Island, south coast. Fantastic dunes there.

You mentioned that the sky will still need to be worked on, so I thought
I'd pass on a couple of subtleties that jar my eye a bit. First is the
scale - I think my eye expects them to diminish or flatten more towards
the horizon. Second is the regularity of cloud distribution - it wants
some clear sky or solid cloud bank for tension; somewhere for the clouds
to go to or come from.
These were my initial thoughts on the image.
I like the dunes...
