-Zephyros-

EDIT-Edited the lighting alignment and improved the moon's sulfuric areas.

Thanks to ~SamODJ for pointing out some unbalanced components of this work.

_______________________

Zephyros, a large terrestrial exoplanet, circles a reddening sun. The world is unusually silent-no volcanic or tectonic activity. However, its large satellite is highly volcanic spouting sulfuric gases and melted sulfur across its ever-varying surface.

I really like this one. The silent planet sandwiched between the red-speckled starscape and the erupting volcanos on the small moon makes a good buffer.

I like how the planetary features look like the marbling of fat and muscle, like the planet itself is a living organism.

Though there is a bit of nebula in the southwest corner of the picture that looks like it had a rake run over it (dark vertical lines). It looks unnatural to me. Other than that I love it.

Good story, it all fits well. A reddening Sun means the Solar system is old, and by then, I'm sure ll geological events on the planet would have ceased ages ago. While the Moon's volcanoes is probably due to the strong gravity of of the big planet, Jupiters moon IO does thae same thing.

Well, there are black/white images of earth's clouds. Basically I sharpen them and spherize them.

Definitely does look better upright. Still, the problem I have with this work is the cropping. Because the planets are being lit from the top right corner, and you have cut off alot of the larger planet, it actually seems more natural to assume the planet is being lit from top light (whilst obviously the moon is lit from top right.) Altogether that ends up making it seem a little confusing, and destroys the dynamic of the piece.

Sam brings up a good point. The scene, detail and lighting is stunning as I would expect from you, however the lighting is a little confusing. First impression was, well, impressive, but with a further look it becomes a bit confused as you don't know which way the planets are supposed to be aimed (and if they are aimed to the right, then it breaks the composition which I felt is aimed towards focusing on top left).
