crop the ropes a bit better... plus there is alot going on its hard to see what makes sense and what doesnt if you know what i mean.based on the title it is a nice theme though.

image shows everybody need space in globe and their is some natrual power which manage all .

Gets a bit purple out there, too, don't it?

You would have done well to find pictures of galaxies instead of the brushes you used. I am a supporter of using brushes to enhance an image, however I do think that some of them tend to miss the mark. There are tons of awesome astral photography shots in creative commons on flickr if you look, and perhaps in the future that will be something you consider.

Great concept!

Very complex... the end scene looks great! Nice use of different sources.

I like the way you put together the sources to form the space freighter and the alien head. High Resolution is wonderful....crisp and detailed, my respects, author..... Good luck....

Very well constructed space ship and the beast looks amazing

Love the story and the whole concept. The ship is wonderful! I agree about the detail and crispness. Excellent work and end image!

WOW... what a creepy looking alien I love how you have constructed the spaceship

very nice compo author...best of luck

Great details in this

Fantastic. I think I need to say it again: Fantastic!

Very cool and detailed! Great job, author!

Congrats for your second place, Rein!

Congrats for second place.....

Congrats! Very good work!

Congrats Rein...

Thanks to all for the kind comments and congrats! Thanks to Jaskier for another great source image!

I like the effect of the near asteroids, but the background could use a little work (the nebula and the star shines).

Lens flare needs to go too...

The Bad part about the asteroids is that it doesn't match.. For some reason when I used the same settings in layer options it didn't work... But the point of the asteroids is to tie the pic together and provide depth .. And the lens flare is just part of the sun behind the planet .. I should have probably put the opacity down a little bit because it is allittle over powering !!!

It's always better to do your own lighting effect than just pop in a lens flare, which we have all seen a million times.

Hmm that is true... But idk what kind of lighting effect besides that would work... Maybe the solar rays ???

very nice job looks very good
