Here's an image I've been working for a couple of days.
It's done with the internal renderer. Lots and lots of transparent weed particles..result in many hours of render time :S
Fog, color stuffs etc done in compositor.Software used: Blender 2.63, GIMP.
Also, I made a kinda very broad description on the compositing side of this image, which is behind this link, if you're interested.

Thank you for description)
That's quite magical - I can feel the slime :)
Thank you good description!!
It's Baltic Sea as far as I remember :-)
Oops! Yeah!
Do you want me to change the title?
Yes please :) Thanks.
And if you want to, you can change the image to the better version of it, at the bottom of this page..or..hmmm..well, any way you like.
I've updated the name. I actually like this version of the image a little better (more mystery, I guess), so I prefer to keep this one!
A couple of days? Why is it after a couple of days, I only end up with a cube?
Because it took you a long time to figure out Shift+A > Add Cube?
No worries, it happened to the most of us :)
Thanks for the tip, that should speed things up in the future. I was adding vertex after vertex then filling with a z buffered sky texture after multiplying out the alpha.
the image looks nice!
And thanks for the description it will help a lot.
Thanks for the praise =)
There's actually an "updated" version of the image, that is...it's been taken a lot further, in here: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?257638-Baltic-ocean-2
Wait, couldn't you have used a subsurf mod instead of overpainting to get rid of the edges?
The ivygen addon might have also been a good choice for the vegetation,wouldn't it?
Sorry if I sound critical, but I actually am curious and trying to give constructive criticism.
Why not. It might give a nice natural distribution of the plant stuffs. Might have to delete the branches to reduce processor-intensity though.. And well..I had 200-300k plant particles in the scene, so maybe the ivygen couldn't be a replacement for *all* vegetation, but a nice addition / source of variation instead.
