Just for the record - the clouds do cast shadows on the surface - just
like in the previous version. The only difference is that due to
smaller clouds (and as result less of the sky being covered with them)
and the changed positions there are fewer shadows actually visible.
Whether this looks good or not is of course up to the viewer.

From the physical standpoint this is not correct - brighter sunlit
surfaces also result in brighter shadows as a result of indirect
lighting. Esp. on steep slopes shadows will usually appear mugh
brighter than on a mostly flat surface (the shadowed parts face a much
larger bright surface and are illuminated by it in the former case).

Maybe i should clarify that i am not trying to make this perfectly
realistic - i know very well that for extreme realism you have to better
serve the typical expectations/cliches someone looking at the image will
have in mind for this kind of scene. I am still considering some
changes about the clouds but more to make them look unusual and
contrasting than to make them harmonize better with the scenery.

Note there is a lot of 'media off-camera' in this scene.

Thank you.

Christoph,
Personally, I think this is pretty amazing all round.
Are the faces in the cliffs deliberate, or am I just seeing things?
