Description This isn't my specialty so go easy on the criticism... it's just something I love to do and I wish I was better at it!

Well, space is cold, it's dark, and that's what I was going for here. And why I titled it Absolute Zero. Everything was created in Photoshop with the exception of the landscape... for that I used a picture I took in the Cayman Islands. On Grand Cayman there is a place called Hell where the ground looks like that... it's actually dead coral from an ancient reef made up of decaying limestone... looks really cool in person.

Haha actually your background that I saw the last time made me make this. It started out looking like yours and then ended up like this... but you're right I need to make one wallpaper size.

Only one flaw I can see is the light source. It should peek through the mountains. Everything else is really great

Yeah, I was thinking of having it peek just above the mountain but I figured then I would have to make the mountain and most of the landscape a silhouette, which I didn't want... what do you think? Thank you for commenting.

You're right, that would darken the mountains somehow.
Or maybe not, it's hard to say

Wow. It looks so cold. The use of blue does that :3

It really reflects what I think space is like :3
