the texture of the planet shows that you really spent a lot of time on this. It's really not one more of those soulless space images that you see oh so often nowadays. I love it ! 7/7

YES! Kupfel is right. The longer I am a memeber of this site, the more I realize that I like space scapes. I commend you on all the work you put in. The big planet is really well done. Great job. I have to give you a full scre because of the work you put in. It really shows that you were putting in your best.

Fantastic textural work on the planet. Lovely green ambience (my favourite palette). Very good work i say .

Marley

Yes...Agree with Marley! Great textures and beautiful green tone! Very well done!

Very good. impressive i say.

my max +7

me to are learning for making this sort things. only still to young in PS "(

i like the ambience!

nice work!! +9/9!

I think this image holds a good compositional structure but it lacks in some technical areas. One thing I see a lot of in this genre is over exposure in two main areas (of which I see both demonstrated here). The first is in the planet surface texture. Often times when a texture bitmap goes through a lot of adjustments and changes, as they always do for planet surfaces, their lightest colors become over exposed and that results in an almost flat white look and feel. It loses it's fullness and richness when this occurs. In this image I see a lot of it around the day side edges... solid white patches. Those drown the richness of the texture and dampen it's believability dramatically.

The second overexposure issue I see a lot is when dealing with lighting dynamics. Often a hue/saturation or color balance adjustment with preserve luminosity checked will overexpose the light source and define sharp edges instead of softly defining radiance and power. I see this in the nebula work. Softness of light should be the dominate thoughts in mind. the power and radiosity of light can still be overwhelming to the eyes if it is presnted softly and richly.

I think you have some good ideas and it's obvious that you experiment and explore thouroughly in this genre. It's not the object creation that is a future challenge now... It's being meticulous and detailed in compositional areas of presentation. Keep things detailed and rich for the eyes.

Very nice !

That's really cool! Great piece!

Looks very nice, the colors fit very well together. The planet surface looks quite realistic. Only the nebula looks like it was cut off at some places.

+6/7

The planet as always... splended...ed...ed..... mark.....ted

The Nebula could be sharper

This is wonderful. I love the colors and detail. I think that if you had made the bright areas of the cosmic clouds a bit more transluscent they'd be more effective.

Great work nevertheless. You are very talented.

Wow..that is so cool!!
