The ONLY bad thing, IMO, are the clouds.

They appear yellowish, which reminds me of Kevin's Dirt
Covenant turned in time to see a short figure detach itself from the burning mud, step queasily onto the hard ground.

The figure was scarcely taller than the skest, and shaped like them, a misborn child without eyes or any other features. But it was made of mud. Flames flickered over it as it climbed from the fire, then died away, leaving a dull brown creature like a sculpture poorly wrought in clay. Reddish pockets embedded in its form glowed dully.

I see what you're saying, but it kind of looks like sunset to me.
The loudest truth I ever heard was the softest sound.

Hey, if that's still an option, don't forget to dress up TC in the same costume as Julie Andrews. It's all in the details, as you ought to know. :biggrin:

And where there is the Sound of Music, Nazis can't be far behind. Having TC - or better yet, Bannor - beat up Nazis would make for one fun TC movie. Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

It looks that way both my monitor at home and the one at work.

Except the clouds are lower than the mountain peaks, and appear even with Kevin's Watch. I would think they wouldn't reflect the light at sunset like that. Not even sure if they would look like this if they were reflecting the sunrise either.
Don't get me wrong, I love the effect, but they still appear to be the wrong color to me.

Actually you are right...the Haze definately there is yellowish brown, I didnt use alot of yellow but when i changed sun positions to a sunrise, it ended up making the clouds in the distance flat gray and turned the fog covering the planes to an almost Brownish yellow. (it looked flat with no definition) The clouds i had to work with and i made them have a slight yellow border... on my flatpanel LCD at home they look white with a slight yellow tint around the edges like the sun showing the transparency, and the haze is almost a brownish yellow..which also made me think of what you mentioned above, Im not sure how the images show up in a CRT Monitor, depending on what color prefs you have set and all that. Hmmm that takes care of the

Kevins dirt View of Kevins Watch for Linden and Anele when they get there.
I just need to make it cover more area.

the Shot would have turned out better using the lighting from the other view of the Mithil Valley and KW.
