"the distance from the land makes the l/s seem real, but the land on that slight angle is distracting"

"The tropical atmosphere is perfectly captured in this piece"

"My mind was split on this one: the water looked to me rather like mouthwash, unrealistic; but the island is stunning. Definitely more photorealistic than any other I've seen. So you get the cigar from me, but work on the water a little and you'll have an *outstanding* image. :)"

"Truly gobsmacking picture. Show this to someone who doesn't know what Terragen is, and they'd want to know how you could afford to go on holiday to such a nice place! Very well done."

"Everything about this picture looks like a photo except the water - it seems too green, but maybe it's just right." "Isn't this pic a photo?!?! Wow! Looks like one of the many 'non-descript' islands off the Queensland (Australian State) coast"

"I voted this picture on place two because of the most realistic shore,but I missed some thin clouds touching the mountain. "

"Great tropical looking island"

"Excellent reflections and surface maps. Good use of the haze too."

"Voting gets harder and harder! I love the landform here, the cliffs and very successful groundcover and shoreline, not to mention the tropical water"
