It's great except the shadows, they look like squares.

author says:

wlado, the ground is very bumped, very out of level. thats why the shadow is not uniform. is not made by me, like in photoshop, is a realistic mental ray shadow map.

I was reffering to the shadows of plants, animals and such, but i see that you have already correctd that, cause when I commented they were really low-detailed. I know what bumpmaps are. =)

Really like the water effect...perhaps soften the edge where the water meets sand...

author says:

Thanks, pixelkid, you're right. Blur tool from PS is forbiden on 3d contests.What can be done in 5 sec in PS suppose few hours to work on Max. Have to make selections, to assign different materials blured on Mat editor. Maybe I shall try.

I'd reduce the intensity of the shadows & blur them a bit, and give some dimension to the 2 moons. Otherwise it's a good image.
