Description
This render began life as an experiment which started to go horribly wrong. The more I toyed around with it, I just could not get the background to do what I wanted...that is, until I began moving around and skewing the single plane with which I was working. All of a sudden, everything fell into place. There are two radial lights...one behind the plane and one in front of it.

Awesome image. Excellent work!
wow i love space art and this is awesome! i always love the color in space art probly the black background mixed with nebula's and planets! i like this on a lot ;)
Very interesting composition, the lighting is great and the nebula looks perfect. Goodlooling starbackgrounds in Bryce are hard to realize!
Wow, a different type of image for you Keith, this one is really good. You seem to have a knack for planet placement, planes and lighting. All has come together extremely well for this one. I like the way the light plane disappears into the nebula. The great title explains the image and sets the mind racing. Tony :-)
Wonderful space scene!!!

I've been there Keith,just when you think you've wasted all that effort one little change pulls it all together...in this case the result is a great space image.Well done!

The depth and perspective here are astounding, and isn't it great when things DO finally go right? Just when you think it's gone, one little tweak and you have it - this is a wonderful image!!

This is really a cool space image. Love the coloring, and the haze across the midline of this piece. Really great title for this outstanding piece of artwork. Nicely done!!
This is one of those images that just pops out...and since I've been unable to browse galleries for a while, it's a hint of what I've been missing. Great work! I love the sense of scale and color here.
