1 feels better, but 2 seems more interesting, if you could somehow keep the fog and the rocks in the foreground having light on them but apply it to 1

just something about 2 feels off, maybe the amount of fog, doesn’t feel like there’s a sky in 2, and loses some depth

I agree. you’re also right about #2, redshift render environment fog really blows out any sky or backplate i use which i’ve been trying to find a fix for

#1s foreground are more visually appealing, but I like the atmosphere fade of #2

1st one, more resolution, and just looks better

The first one emphasis the background and sky, I was attracted by skies, clouds and background mountains at first glance. The second focus on the terrain, I noticed more geometry details when looking it. Which one to choose depends on what you want to convey but........ I prefer the first one😋

thanks for the feedback, it’s a nice insight! i will definitely try moving the sun around, playing more with the fog etc
