Rob: your E looks great. I love orbital shots of the ship at oblique angles

I like your style. Β Very picturesque. Β Everybody else shows off the ship, but you show that the ships of Starfleet have a job to do, and occasionally you can catch a beauty shot of them in their natural environment.
You've got that quality, and I think it works to good effect.

Thanks so much! I'd like to feel like my Trek stuff is exploring a slightly different angle from what we usually see. And when I feel like I'm just doing "the same old stuff", it's time to stop, or least take a break.

Just freaking gorgeous. It would make an awesome book cover

Heheheheeh. Well, I'm in the character/plot development stage of my own Trek novel, so hopefully in future I can hire you for the cover art

M Class stars - red stars - are the most common and coolest spectral class [link]
M Class planets - Earthlike worlds - are just a creation of Star Trek and doesn't represent any classification system today.

i like that.One suggestion to the technical part ...i think there isnt enough blur to the Enteprise so the rock and the ship looks the same distance,if i was you i would blur the rock from the bottom to the top so the Model of enteprise will be the first thing that your eyes focus on !

Yeah, sense of scale and location can be tricky with shots like this. I took your advice - sorta - and tweaked it a bit. But I'm not sure it's a really fixable issue...
(... or maybe I'm just feeling too lazy, at the moment

is Earth an "M-class planet"?
because this looks like Earth to me, somehow.
though this potato-moon is definitely not "our" Moon

Aye. In Star Trek's time/worlds an "M-class" planet means Earthlike... habitable by humans.
I wonder if humans would be hungrier if each time they looked into the sky they saw a potato??

well, with a little imagination-power our Moon looks like a pizza ...so it wouldn't change much, I'd say.
just....potatoes would be healthier
and thanks for explaining

Hm. Makes one wonder what pizza would look like if our Moon looked different?!?!

maybe more like potatoes?

A stellar display of light and style love the detail in the horizon of the planet and point of view man!

Thanks! I guess I was going for something that would be worthy of a "wish you were here" postcard...
...in spaaaaaaaaaaccccccceeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I'm not quite sure how I'd define the composition. Maybe there's something of "the rule of thirds" at play, but as with most of my stuff the functional approach ends up being "wiggle stuff around until it looks right"
