This is a pretty nice image author. The only thing I would suggest is to use some lens effects on the camera you used to make the sun less "flat" The lens flare and glow effects would be a good place to start. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGcToM_DyKU check out this tutorial for an excellent planet scene. There's nothing more beautiful than the Earth. This has captured my imagination. Well done author.

Thanks r1k3r, i thought about lens effects, and know a lot of people don't seem to like them. But now you have suggested (and i must admit i like them) i will update scene. Many thanks

r1k3r says:

Truth is photoshoppers will never like Lens effects Don't know why? But when it comes to space almost always there will be some lens flare and glow effects because of the nature of the sun This is a beautiful image and well done. Just tweak the camera slightly. and this will look like the sun rising over the Earth. Which for those that have actually seen it must be amazing! well done author.

Certainly this is a good image. I read the SBS, and really would suggest turning the bump map down to at least 3, if using 3ds max. At the moment the planet looks a little noisy. Also for the material, I would change the shader from "Blinn" to "Phong" and set the specularity to 22 and the glossiness to 22. This will give a more realistic shine and reflect to the Earth. I don't know what render engine your using, But if your using Vray click the area shadows box and play with the UVW values to soften the transition from night to day. But overall a beautiful image.
