Description
Check my previous to see the "before photoshop" version.
Lots and lots of adjustment layers, sorted out the figures pose a litle, added all the veg, fixed some glitches in the terrains and buildings, added exhaust fumes to the little ships, added glow to most of the "lights" and....and.....and.....
Thanks and enjoy!

Excellent sci fi well done....
Wow, this is a real lesson in postworking from a true master. Here I thought the original was good, but this is just incredible!
Very nice! It's interesting to compare this one with the previous (though you did reverse them, making a little hard for my poor eyes.) In some ways, I liked the first one better (mainly the foreground lighting), but the more closely I look at it, I can see all the things you've added and fixed. Well done!
Excellent!
Wow...excellent work,and thanks for posting both versions...really gave me a sense of your workflow and progression using photoshop.Excellent modelling and great futuristic vision!!
Nice upgrade and still a wonderful image!
Woow!! Excellent sci-fi scene!! Great work.
An excellent example of how to improve an already superb image. Stunning upgrade!
Delicious, a must-see @ full res.
Outstanding comparison, Love the Postwork!!
Fantastic image and great postwork! I ever thinked that if your goal is to obtain a still 3D image with an "artwork" taste, you MUST deeply work on your render in 2D with Photoshop or other bitmap progs (as I always do). If you don't, you usually have only a vivid, and sometimes beutiful image, full of gelid geometries and dolls (as almost all the images posted on Renderosity). This is TEN TIMES true if the 3D program used is Bryce. ;) Is clear that sometimes some "pure 3D" image is a masterpiece, but rarely...
Great job!
I love the atmospherics, and the improvements look great. Sweet render you got!!
thank you for sharing this useful example of pw....it's from artist like you if we can improve our skills....sharing the knowledge with goodwill and practice....anyway you did a great work of upgrade on your last post.....brilliant!! :-)

Perfect postwork for a fantastic work.
Beautiful and intriguing image.
Interesting use of contrasting texture natural and man made.
Wow - looks great! Excellent work!!!
Quite intense and beautiful scene...
Fantastic scene and work!!!!
The scale and view are breath taking, the full view simply rocks.
W-o-w...... That's a stunner - looks even better at full size! The scale of this work is awesome, almost makes me dizzy looking up at it! I love the details too - the vegetation, great mats on the buildings, the ships high above and of course the lone figure taking it all in. Superb - 5 stars from me!
