Cool map diamond for you :)

Im trying to do realistic landscape and is there any helpful hints you can give me.
Thanks and awesome map

This is beautiful, *diamond!  Quick question though, How do i take pictures like these?

You don't deserve to receive flack from other worldpainter users/terraformers on the subject how easy this is to make. You shared a map, people diamonded it and those are the facts. I think most are just a bit disgruntled to have experienced that other projects which might have taken more effort to not receive a similar appreciation. 

Though more effort doesn't necessarelly mean a better project ofcourse. It's hard to predict what people will like and why, you seem to have received a lucky break, that's in no way your fault and you don't have to defend yourself for it. 

Don't let people's opinions discourage you to keep on worldpainting and sharing your projects!
