Description
It took more than 94 hours, mainly because I had to turn the acceleration chache off for one of the cloud layers because of banding. C & C welcome.

Fantastic image!!! Beautiful work!!!
what can i say ? you rule on planets, man ^^
Great image! Looks very realistic.
Amazing render and view to the earth!!!
This is really impressive... clouds are fantastic. Maybe you could add some colors variations on ground parts, but anyway a great render.
Interesting work. This is coming along...
Brilliant.!
splendid clouds !
Man this is really looking great... I think the last steps are to add coriolis effects to the clouds (ie. large and small scale swirls). Otherwise, you are on top of the game for planetary renders. I haven't seen any other orbital renders look as good as yours.
I think Moodflow said it all. Really impressive work. Hope you find a way to improve the warping (read the topic at the forums), it would make it a real 'killer' :-)
Great réalisme!
Your work with clouds is most impressive and outstanding.
Agreed on realism - this looks like a shot from a Space Shuttle. Hopefully TG2's release will allow a degree of cloud "sculpting."
Great work! If only that could be animated in a lifetime :) PS. Maybe missing some long cloud streaks..
An other great render from space.
