I like it ! the impact is very eye catching ! love the idea ..at first when I logged in , I thought the yellow planet was a lemon ..a suggestion ? you have the right stuff , ideas , could go long long way with your work ..if you were to use some real images of planets , not these sort of toy images of planets ,would look way more interesting and professional ..get what I mean ? your idea is great , work harder at perfecting it !the lemon sort of bugs me , would like to see something that actually resembles real planets , not lemons ..but I like it !

Nice techs with some brilliant colors!! The composition has so much imagination with great lighting coming from the sun. The focus is nice with b.g. to enhance the whole scene of planets and sun!!

There's a real feeling of dynamic movement in this piece. I like the varied colors and shapes. Good imagination and execution.

Comment from darniforgot


This turned out very nice and has good initial impact. The blue planet in the upper right is hard to see against the dark background (-.5). If you brought the lasers through that portion of the image too (just a few, not a lot since I like how the light fades out toward the edges), it would make that planet stand out as well. The image is well composed and utilizes the space well. Nice job.

5 - Initial rating
-.5 - Planet hard to see
---
4.5 - Final rating

Eye catching initial impact. Good focus, lighting and vibrant color harmony. The ordered explosive quality is the center of interest. Good composition, cropping and framing. Good technique, technical excellence and story telling potential. Creativity in use of title, presentation and artist's notes.

Very vibrant colors in this solar system. Good use of canvas. Composition is pleasing. Lighting works. Some of the planets seem a bit flat to me.
