Image description
This image was not originally intended for this challenge but as it turned out fairly well, I am curious to see how it will be doing. This is not its final stage. The monolith is courtesy to Stephen :-)
Description of how this image was created
Fairly straightforward construction using a mosaic of height_fields as basis. Trees were generated by POV-Tree; the cityscape is a macro by Mike Williams; the pylons are a macro from unknown. This is Cathy's World #10.

1.   30-10-2009 Nice one, but I can't help to notice the non- parallel shadows. -Ive
2.   24-10-2009 This knocks me over. The monolith gives it an extra dimension. Two small criticisms: I don't think the monolith should have bevelled edges and the sun's light should be parallel. SMcA
3.   23-10-2009 sky is fantastic Your concept is fine, because you allied large scale but reasonable number of polygons. Very nice ! One of the best of that round !
4.   18-10-2009 I'm quite ambivalent about the tech side of this shot: The sky looks intriguing; however, you got the scene illumination horribly wrong: Obviously the sun has already "drowned" in diffuse scattering, so it should not cast any shadows (I mistook them for artifacts for quite a while); the reflections on the water don't seem right either. - C.Lipka
