This submission was inspired by Eric's multiple displacement post. (https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=22089.0)
This is a triple displacement of a single KeyShot geometry plane. My earlier attempt (https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=22136.0) at this was restricted because my base plane was much too large and by the time I got to the third displacement even 40 million max triangles wasn't getting the desired result.
After the third displacement, I started messing around with the material and settled on using camo. The natural earthy colors looked good so after a bit of tweaking I was happy with how it looked; this is my base image. The only other geometry in the scene is a plane with a gradient for the background.
Then I added a spotlight and scattering medium which really added to the mood, I think. I used the photographic image style as well, with a lot of little tweaks.
I thought I was done, but then I started to think it would look interesting with water. So I added the water and changed the color of the scattering medium along with a slightly different photographic image style.
This is much different from what I render for work, but it was a lot of fun!
