Wow I like this one1 it really caught my eye. I like all the rich colors and all the motion and livelyness (if thats a word) of the scene. hmmm not much to critique about it if i HAD to say something it'd be looks like the bottom has alot of motion (car lights) the middle has lightning but the top doesnt have any form of motion to it. maybe a shooting star would balance it out or something? but this might overwhelm the picture so i'd say just ignore that haha

23 layers...That is insane lol...I can't do any of this myself so I can't exactly the right one to give you advanced critique...I will say that I love the colors and I thought you blended the different elements pretty well...

I Know 23 layers is slightly mad lol

Looks MUCH much better! I think everything you added in blends really well. My only critique---if I have to nitpick--is the stars in and around the lighting above the city. My eye kept going back to that---I think they might seem a little out of place? Maybe more blending or just remove them from that area entirely? Either way, this is an awesome piece and your hard work is really showing through!! Great job

Very nice ^^
If you want the planet as focal point it might help to add more things around the planet (like a comet coming from behind in orbit for instance.)
A friend of mine (DJ raskal) likes your stuff alot, the spacy parts mainly ^^

Thank you,
I really appreciate your comments & I might re-work and edit this
scene later. Perhaps I will add some comets and more detail around
the planet

an absolutely stunning combination of images -- i have tried mixing real world photography and computer generated planets but they always look shoddy -- this is excellent!!

I love the merger of the realistic forground with the fabulous fantasy sky. The only improvement I could suggest is to try and define a more unified color scheme. The sky is mostly blues and violets and the forground colors are all amber, red and green. If you could filter that into resembling more of the sky tones you'd really pull the different elements together.

The atmosphere will be what im working on next, like you said I need to tie in the various colors. Thanks for your critque Elly as always really I appreciate your help

Oh yeah, this is just perfect! You really can't tell the boundaries between the cityscape and the sky any more. Glad you had the patience to rework it!

Wow what a compliment thanks
appreciate the

yeah, nice appliance, indeed. just i think you could blend the planet better. that includes making atmosphere of it blend more with a sun at the bottom, plus adding hints of purple color at the bottom. to reflect color of the sky a little.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah tweaking the atmosphere and the cities lighting/atmo would help blend
everything together. Thanks mate I appreciate the help as always

Well, for starters, I wish I could do something like this...I can only imagine the amount of coffee you had to consume to finish this thing! If I had to pick at anything, it might be that the picture seems a little 'too' busy...there's so much to look that it's hard to figure out what the focal point is. I'm not sure about the addition of the fractal flames either....maybe a little less would say more? Anyway, those are my humble two cents
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I do have a habbit of overworking scene's & adding stuff that doesnt tie in properly. The focal point would be the planet but your right, you can be easily drawn elsewhere. The fractal flames were one of the orginal layers from the start but like you I dont really like them. They are easy to remove i'll just remove that layer so thats a nice simple task.
Thanks very much for your critque it is very appreciated

You're welcome...I always get a bit apprehensive when I critique someone else's work---especially when it bypasses stuff I can presently do!--but I also don't think getting constant comments (can you tell I've bee surviving on too much tea while sick?!) of "hey this looks great!' or "nice job" are always too helpful when we're looking to improve ourselves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem, Its good to be a bit apprehensive it shows you care & I think that is important. You can always be critical of my work as I am still learning & I miss stuff.
I have removed the fractal flame and will be uploading the edited version later. Thanks
