Description
Water, its the stuff of life.--
3DSMax and PS as usual, the ice terrain was rendered with subsurface scattering, extremely processor intensive but well worth it. With global radiosity for added realism.
The planets maps were done in PS and rendered within the same scene in Max, the shaded lower half of the planet is actually picking up light from the terrain because of where it was actually placed in the scene, though if i got everything right it should look further out in this finished version.
Actual size 3840x1200.

Now this is true beauty, such a rare sight to see icey planets like pluto have enough light to reflect light like this yet still still cold enough to keep its icey landscape.

Looks like the surface of one of Jupiter's moons, Europa.

The rainbow really sets this off, I wonder if this could be close to realty on one of the icy moons we have even in our own solar system.

this planet looks like Narceodon, my frozen, barren wastleland planet, unhospitable to life (for the time being) in my book (History of the Narcadian Galaxy) I love it, masterful rendering.

I don't know if you know about "The Powers That Be" by Anne McCaffery and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough...it's pretty old...but it SO reminds me of this exact picture...
Absolutely beautiful. I especially love the atmosphere effect you have.

soo a rainbow on a planet that appears to have no clouds?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't need clouds, just water/glass/crystal for the light to pass through and bend

I love it. Do you think you could do one with more depth... or field blur?
Don't get me wrong, you're the top artist here and I don't want to claim I know what's best

The effects of sub-surface scattering is really noticable on the left 
The planet picking up reflected light actually works in favour for this bright, fantasy-like scene
