First three space scenes *updated*

[RArcher]

First time messing around with space scenes.  I really like how fast these render compared to some of the scenes I've tried to do recently.  These were a complete rethinking of scales for me, normally I am trying my hardest to scale things down down down...  Here everything has to be far bigger than I expected.  The nebula are a modified version of Pachalmars brilliant clip file posted in the file sharing section. Thanks for taking a look!

love the first one....

Very nice work .  I really like the painted and slightly stylized feel that your images tend to have.  Did you do much postwork on these?

If those are your first, you're off to a great start. I think I like the second one better... 'cause of the highlights on the terrain.

Very nice work.  Like o_b, I appreciate your postwork as well.  Good look overall.

Thanks very much for the comments.  Not too much postwork on these ones.

- Saved as .exr
- tonemapped in photomatix
- adjusted saturation, colour balance  and sharpening in photoshop

Done well, no doubt.  It really looked like there was more postwork.  Great job in TG2, then.  Great outer space offerings.

I like both of them. Good composition and the Nebula look really good.

Added a third image, I misplaced my continents and lost my cirrus layer somewhere when moving the camera  , but it still turned out OK.
