awesome!
great perspective, and the simplicity is there at first, but then you look deeper and it's a whole world!

I thought it was a photo at first too, then I saw the planets and I was like ..."No way, that's impossible." It's really awesome!

For the climbers: "the only vertical limit is the sky"
with this picture, you show us that even this limit is a false one... no limit... the sky is infinite!

marvellous work by the way!! I like it very much

very interesting and simplistic image. This is how sunrises are meant to look!! One detail that I really like here that i don't see often in images is that the sun looks like it's the strongest light source and the planets that are near receive that light.
this is very beautiful scenery; lots of elements have joined to make this image and they look like they couldn't belong apart. I also thought it was a photo!!
Thanks for sharing this fantastic vision!!

Fantastic! I love the light gradient down the picture, it really gives the impression of the sun invading the night with it's harsh rays.

Very well executed dude.... I really like the long cloud which resembles a trail left behind by a passing rocket... and of course the angle too... And congrats for the DD

I love how I feel like I'm standing on some distant mirroring mountain while looking at this. You chose excellent, simple colours that make this look real. Like a cool, early spring morning, the land is just about to wake up! I think leaving the extra planet out of the background was a really good call; it would have changed the feel of this peice entirely. Instead of being soft and real and toucheable, it would have leant it a really sci-fi feel that wouldn't really suit. The vast starry sky speaks volumes by itself.

I think a nebula or something like that would have ruined the serenity that this has, in my opinion. The bright center looks so striking against the sky and dark ground. I like how I can see stars and the cresent moon, but they aren't stealing the focus. Very cool.
