Description
Revisiting an earlier idea (after some helpful advice from you guys - thanks):
A cargo transport is attempting to flee from a group of missiles homing in. After slingshotting around a planet, the missles keep coming. Last ditch effort: Drop some decoys. But the missles don't seem to be falling for it...
Mostly done in Bryce, with help from Lunarcell and Glitterato and Photoshop CS.
Thanks for taking a look, and comments are much appreciated.

Time to start dumping cargo pods!
Yup! Screw the cargo!
Such marvelous atmosphere and I adore this colors.... excellent!
Very nice artwork, and interesting composition . I like everything but...!...the shades of purple which I 'd have seen in grey or white hues.But you are the artist ! ( Thank you for your comments in my gallery)
Fantastic scene !!! Incredible work !!!!
real cool looking here. lol hope they get out of this one. maybe the missles will burn out of fuel
Wonderful sci-fi image!
Very believable space composition~ Nice layering of foreground, midground and distant background. =) On another note, those of us who saw live on tv, broadcast of the first moonwalk are sorely disappointed at the near non-progress since then. We fully expected to be established in space by now, at least in our own solar system a few planets out. (You didn't know that, did you, those who came later?) Planetwide squabbling, hoarding and gross misuse of resources (monetary and otherwise), poor management of many nations in general (USA included) have kept us as a cognizant, intelligent, capable species from achieving that goal. As much of what Asimov, and others wrote of Technology-wise has come true (some of our terms for new technology has even come from them because they had the idea and named it first!) their grandest so-very-reachable vistas have not. As one of their generation, I apologize for our failings, and I hope the upcoming generations can see the way and the NEED to ACHIEVE!
Awesome space scene, very well done!
Awesome!!! Love the title:))! Great deapth of the picture!!! Amazing job!!!

Your backgrounds are perfect for a few scenes I have in mind. You do excellent work in creating these atmospheres!
Superb!!! 5+ It's my favorite!
Great image, dump the cargo, it shoud be insured
Marvelous space scene..awesome work! Perfectly done 5* :)
Excellent!! You could laso use a similar effect for ships re-appearing out of hyperspace! Great!! 5+
Superbe comopsition, grand travail
Nice job man ! The background is a little bit cold and dull for me, but in space, no one can hear you scream... Guess it's time to warp to a safer place ;-)
Awesome space scene. The models are fantastic ans the whole scene seems quite professional to me! Fantastic work!
Wonderfull battle scene ^^
Really like the ship design here - well lit too!
Excellent concept and art
The missiles not falling the decoy ? talk about smart weapons, if all else fail maybe they should wave a white flag ! Kool space scene and planet textures ! ~Cheers~ :o)
I agree with Jeff. excellent scifi and original idea
Very nice work
Wonderful space scene!
Great lighting and the nebulae is great! The planet is amazing! Wonderful story :)
That is one hot ship. Way to go!
Very nice ship design. Of course, if the cargo was purchased by the captain as speculative cargo, dumping the pods could lose them the ship as sure as a missile hit. "Burn the land and boil the sea; you can't take the sky from me..."
Very cool sci-fi piece. Its got that suspenseful epic battle feel to it.
