Ok, well done on the grass. . .I think you could add some more bumpyness to it, and maybe a few more colors to the grass. . .but you have achieved something already that many can't
the terrain is very good
the snow looks aweful. . .to be honest. it's too white, too shiny. . .too flat, and doesn't add anything to the scene. . .
Snow, surprisingly, is very similar to grass in the way that terragen works. . .
it doesn't follow the terrain exactly. ..it's fluffy. . .the only thing that's really different is it has to be a little smoother and 'grows' in slightly different places. . .but on the whole, it's pretty much the same technique as grass in TG. . .maybe fiddle with the snow more.
The rock under the grass. . .going up this mountain is a little boring.
The sky doesn't look very real. . .try going outside. . .looking at pictures, whatever it may be. . .but look at skies and see what they look like
it's usually a pretty smooth deal in general. . .few sharp edges. . .few things that really STICK out.
the big thing that this image needs is some atmospheric contrast. I know the place you have in mind for this is probably very hazy and such. . .but remember this iisn't a photograph, or reality. . . it is a picture, probably for people to enjoy looking at from they're rooms, or whatever. We need to feel more comfort in this, need to see colors clearly, experience what's going on. . .and most of all, enjoy the image. Lower the haze, make the colors more accessable. . .and clear out the image a little so we can really see it.
This is, however, a very good image. . .don't get my extensive criticism wrong. . .I like this very much, and you have done very well with it.
Good luck on your next piece, and I look forward to it
Bye

great textures, terrain is good also
clouds looks maybe little bit pixelated imho
great job though

"your" grass is verywell done! Too well done : the mountains and the sky are too artificial...
And you should do something for the clouds, because they're a bit too flat..

Nevertheless, good deviation, your first try with grass is successfull!
