Thanks Bob, I did try adding earth clouds to my re-do of "Start of a Good Evening" but the clouds casted shadows on the terrain that made it hard to see the bends and detail. I tried many different settings and cloud and cloud types, heights....it just didn't work. I like this image because the tree seems to be leaning back to hold on to life and even the nebula in the sky seems to be adding a cosmic influence to hold on to the edge. I agree I would have loved to make this more "earth-like" but...you know me....I'm a space cadet!!!
