hmm.. it's very noticably fog.

I really don't like the planet - the rings are bad, and I'm not keen on the lensflare; I'm not sure where the light that's causing it is coming from.. if there's a sun in the centre of the image they it should really be more noticeable.

Otherwise the composition is great, and major praise to Matt Tarling.



11 hours?!!?! wtf does it take that long? Is Lightwave just a really slow renderer or what?

im scientifically minded, but probably artistically to an extent too, my opinion is this is art work not scientific work and its on that which i judge it, i take xaphods points on board but as a picture i love it, its would be as pleasing to the eye of the sun was too bright and became the single most important feature on the picture and the planet adds a nice sense of scale...and i think its ok anyway
