About 10 minutes of work I'd say.

Hmmm... so warming. Nice texturing for the water, it's very effective.

Thanks, it's actually one of the built-in ones. ;)

I first wanted to make something that looked a little more displaced, if you know what I mean, but I didn't find a cost-effective (read: quick) way to do that except moving around nodes manually, and decided that I should start simple instead.

Ah nils, I don't think I've ever not loved anything you've submitted in these forums!!
I would so like to emulate your work.

This is another "home run" as they say. Really nice work!
Might I suggest either a long, thin, spindly cloud, or maybe the last couple of birds sailing towards their roost, just before night falls? I do see the streak of darker color in the sunset, but I'm wanting just a little stronger accent somewhere. Well, just a thought :D

Well done image!

Thanks heathenx, and brynn.

Brynn, you sure know how to flatter :P

I'll try if I can produce a good-looking cloud or something like that and see how it looks afterwards.
