Greetings,

This was an exercise in textures without any use of media or fog.

The forground mountain look nearly photorealistic, but the blue
background mountain looks painted on. The clouds seem a little large for
the mountains. Kind of make the mountains look small. 
Otherwise a very nice scene.

This needs media? It's great except for the purple hue on the rear mountain.
It doesn't blend right for some reason, but otherwise it's really good. I'd
almost call it a photograph. I hope you'll share the source.

I agree,
Great job on the lanscape. Nice try with the faked media/ground fog but it
doesn't quite make it.

The foreground is awesome.  I'd say your attempt to simulate fog with
texturing, though, was a failure.  Is that purple mountain supposed to be
radioactive or something? ;)

    Good effect. I agree that this particular -use- of the effect is still a
WIP but for an exercise it is far from a "failure". Perhaps if the clouds
also had the same treatment so that the mountain blended with the sky, the
scene would look better.

    But as an effect, I say you have gotten the idea. Since I have never
seen anyone do that particular thing, I say you succeeded.

The effect is too strong. For the mountains in back to be that bluish,
they would have to be much, much further away. (Trust me, I've lived
around them for most of my life.)

Interesting experiment, though. I've thought of trying something like
this but POV's inability to layer over patterned textures makes it tricky.

I will agree with the others.

- The transition from green+grey to blue is too sudden.
- These clouds should cast shadows on a landscape of this size.

This being said, if you'd only posted an image with the foreground
mountain, you'd be covered in "Ooooh's and Aaaah's" right now.
