Nice setup, Poor guy tho :P I would suggest that put weak Radial lights near the person so we can see some of his details!

A few things. First. you have demonstrtated here something very important that all Bryce users should know. I have often said that Bryce clouds look the most 3d when they are set to the maximum height. Becasue when the camera looks "up" at the clouds they look less flat. When the clouds are low they appear much more flat. So in this case I say Bravo, you have the camera aimed upward looking at the clouds from an angle than makes them appear very 3d indeed. super 3d for Bryce clouds.
Archclan is correct to suggest that you place a weak radial or two to illuminate the models. You have not used any ambient glow whic is exactly right, we do not want any glow. Just pop in a radial or two and call it a day.

The parachute could be made even better. As you see here transparency is a great tool in Bryce. The problem though can come from reflection, something a parachute does nto need. A parachute should allow light to pass through it but not so much that the patterns are visible. Anyhow I stumbled upon this long ago. What you need is to use a special tranaprency just like what I use for leaves, it will give tranparency without allowing patterns to show throuhg and withou causes any unwanted reflection. Follow this link and download the material, use in on the chute just change the diffusion texture to match the chute. Once you place a radial and use a better transparency for the chute I think this image will be about as good as one could ever expect.

Well done, but I have to echo the observations above on the lighting in particular. The one thing that really gets lost in your image is the trail of smoke coming from the plane, that should really be more pronounced, if only to add credence to the story you are telling. You have done a great job with the clouds, not an easy task in Bryce.

What can I add? The Bryce sky is obvious but it came out surprisingly well. Depending on what you were up to, illuminating the parachuter may be a good idea (as suggested by the peers above) but then, it may not. The lighting on him is definitely sub-optimal but it looks rather than it would on a photograph with the camera held towards the bright sky. You have to decide whether the jumper needs light or not.
