I would have to see your earlier photos but I seem to remember liking them more than this one.
colors seem a bit wonky. If the lit part is blue, one would expect the shadows to be even more so. Really interesting texture to the dunes. And the sky is pretty cool for made up.
Looks like an animated scene, just needs a Frosty snowman. I like it.
The more I digest it, the more funky it looks...will work on it some more.
More desert, less sky.
Perhaps smaller stars Chauncey and a bit more random. A couple of constellations and some stars of varying brightness?
I'll think about the desert
It looks like meringue to me. I agree with Grahame that the stars could be more realistic in terms of varied brightness and showing constellation patterns. Maybe a fake time lapse would work here. I would like to see something on the moon (!?) that offers scale like a space ship or an Apollo.
Grrr...it snot dessert...it's snow pretending to be desert...note the spelling.
Funky , yes that it is,very intriguing and pretty cool !!
William, as I said before... my imagination goes into overdrive with this kind of image.... for me... Dune.... a faraway world of Spice.... and sandworms about to surface ...
Lets see who that brings out of the closet
Do the stars on a half dozen or so different layers and change the opacity on each layer and the stars will look more real.
Looks like yoghurt to me ...having just finished breakfast of cornflakes and yoghurt
