Image is based on TU's Canyon. One heightfield deleted and second terrain added; and, many adjustments made.
Cool terrain, Bob. I like this. But I think it needs a little work, if I may say so. The flattish areas look like sand dunes, but need a slightly more sandy color, and the black areas near the moon is a bit strange. But the overall landscape is very interesting. And perhaps you could keep the fake stones in the lower parts of the 'dunes', or at least more patched. Looking forward to the next ;)
Very good rocks and a nce atmosphere
The rock surface really looks superb. Very other-worldly, a nice departure from your traditional style in my opinion.

Thank you Ulco. Regarding the sandy areas, their color is picked up from the surfaces you see on the land form (eroded from above). The upper black areas (shadowed) are dark as they don't pick up the reflectivity as do the lower shadowed areas. I agree about the stones being in the lowest area of the dunes.
You always challenge me to re-do some of my images ...so, I'll do it again and see what I come up with.

Thank you Oshyan, I've always been a fan of space and science fiction but desert landscapes have ruled. With SciFi, there are a lot of challenges which I may pursue.
You're welcome, Bob. I always try to be honest in a kind way, open to debate of course. Images are often very personal and perhaps are based on premises I'm not aware of. I just look at them and see what I think nice or wrong. Another set of eyes is sometimes helpful to even out the glitches, so to speak.
I like the surface a lot on this one. I also like the sporadic plants popping up here and there.

Hi Badger,
Thanks for the visit. I'm making a night time version and testing some of the suggestions Dune made. Should have it up soon.
Bob
Updated the image by changing the atmosphere, added a UFO (thanks Jason), changed the clouds, lightened the sand; and, reduced the stones size along with painting them to appear in the lowest areas.
Enjoy.
I really like the rock faces in this one. The detail and coloring are very well done.
Yeah, great update, Bob. I also like the subtle starfield.
Excellent, has a kind of scary feel to it, great.
Howdy Bob,
I really like this on. Well done.
Very good Bob!
Nice dark athmosphere!
Thank you all. This was of those enjoyable projects.
I'll be going down for the next several weeks. First a HD format; then, some medical stuff. See ya all later.
Image 2 is great. A good finish on it.
Take care choronr. Hope your all right.

Thank you Badger. Just a follow up colonoscopy (yuck) which is an out-patient procedure. Can't wait to get this behind me (no pun intended).
