Description
They there,I had another awesome dream that inspired my to make this image. It's kinda simple but that's the way I wanted it to be. Simple and powerful.
Used apophysis for background, photoshop for planet texture ( really pain in the ass was this texture...and hell if i can make it second time
... I had the earth texture map as inspiration and model ) and final processing.Hope you like it. Comments and critique also really welcome.
May the peace be with you.
EDIT:
On ~BLPH suggestion I worked on the small planet. I added an slight texture and scaled it down. On *QAuZ suggestion i worked a little more on the big planet texture. I think it looks a little better now, but still i think it need some work, although i think that my actual skill limit.Thank you for suggestions.

Care e problema ta ? Am inteles nu iti place ce fac eu si intradevar aceasta imagine nu este extrem de reusita, dar esti bine venit sa iesi dupa pagina fara a lasa comentari nepotrivite si fara injurii. Nu faci altceva decat sa dai dovata de o inteligenta redusa. Si as putea sa stau sa iti explic de ce multi admira spatiu dar vad ca tiai facut cont doar pentru a da aceste comentarii deci nu are rost. O zi buna.

I love the background, star and eclipse effect the most!
The texture on the main planet is also realistic and pretty amazing, idk why it just looks a little 'flat' o.O Not sure if it's just me.
Very nice though

Thank you
I know the texture is kinda flat. I've tried my best but this is the best i could do

Oh dear, the planet doesn't look good at all and if that's then I should make a planet tutorial it's damn easy and quick :/ but I like the background

I guess you are right, but yet, it's my best planet so far (guess that says something about my skill
Thank you for your feedback. Also do you have any suggestion for what i should fix ? It will be really appreciated.

This is looking pretty nice, I especially like the colors and the subtlety of the background. Something I'd spend a bit more time on is the planet in the top-right. Even if the texture would be relatively subtle, it surely can make a difference. Also, try to tone it down a little; it'd be a little more accurate in regards to physics
Pretty good work, though; keep it up!

Mmmh, looking better! I'd, however, go with even stronger contrasts for the small planet. Check out some "solar eclipse"-shots, the moon is just plainly black (I am not quite a fan of solid black stuff, so a little hint of texture would be good, too). Also, regarding the larger planet, how about some atmospheric glow at the edges? It helps adding both realism and depth

I tried to make more contrast, but there is that flare that comes from right part of it and covers the texture. The picture doesn't represent the actual eclipse moment, it's after the eclipse a few seconds. The planet has some outer glow, it's hard to notice because i kinda don't like that effect on planets, it seems fake to me. If you look at the shadow parts of the planet you will notice a little glow
Thanks again for the feedback. Much appreciated.
