The colours in the atmosphere are beautiful [i'm a lover of atmosphere's, spend hours tweaking the colours in my renders ]. The bliss effect is wonderful, I might have to give it try.

This is a beautiful picture. I especially like the brown rock next to the transparent green water. It's very nice!

Great piece overall. Nice job with the Bliss effect (though i've seen it many times before). I like the underwater effect you got with the terrain. Nice selection of colors also. Keep it up

Thanks a bunch! Yeah, the bliss effect has been done before, but i thought i'd give it a shot just to see how it worked. Appreciate the comments!

A bliss is the effect created when the sun looks like it has rays of light shooting out from it (in my pic, the orange rays). For a good tutorial, head over to [link] Thanks for the comment!

Great bliss, love it alot, the textures i think could have a more colorlayers and maybe a bit of wetness added above the waterline to the rocks, love how u can see below the water, nice work

I don't know...it just worked out i guess! Plus dude, you don't need bliss in your landscapes to make them beautiful...you're already the atmosphere master! hehe...
