Description
TG classic, I used World Machine 2 to combine a real digital elevation model of Mars and a new WM2 terrain. The yellow dust cloud rendered in Terragen and I added the red highlights, stars and moon in PSP7....thanks!
Edit: choronr and Prutz are correct...except I forgot to mention...this is an image of Mars a billionquadrilliongazillion years ago before a comet struck the moon and split it in two creating Phobos and Deimos....hey, it sounds good to me. :) Peace!

Splendid work and arguably your finest!
Fantastic scenery, like it!
Splendid place for vacation ! So realistic, it's an enchanting landscape ! Great job !
Fantastic rendering of the Red Planet. Great job! 5++++
Excellent!
Very beautiful... an eyecatcher....
I like this new twist. Very nicely done, Mark! ")
Very nice my brother, and very well done.
They found water on Mars, it just seems they landed in an area in the middle of the desert... Wouldn't it be funny is 20 years from now they find a city and say theirs been life on mars forever, we just didn't know about it - lol
You did very nice work!
You've got the colors and light just right. I'm not sure that the moons, Deimos and Phobos are of a round shape.
Love the atmo in this, a fine image!
Cool terrain and light!
Awesome terrain- I must upgrade to the new version. This is a perfectly balanced piece.
Hoo, that is spectacular great work on this, especially the creative use of actual elevation data from Mars!
Very well done...excellent terrain work and great lighting and post effects!!
Gorgeous work - great terrain and texture. Beautiful sky - great lighting and dust clouds. Well done!
Very beautiful color and composition!! Splendid work!!!
fully agree with Bob and I think also the size of the moon is to big, P& D are captured astroids
Aw, heck, Martin - Mark puts on his interpretive spin as an artform. We scientists will just have to let it slide... Dang - it almost looks like some of my stuff - !
Never been there yet.. but this is as close as to what I imagine it to be like... perfect red dusty atmosphere!
Outstanding atmosphere, light and everything!!!
Beautiful speculative scene. Could Mars have had such a moon eons ago?

Another great render -- I am humbled in genuflection!
Chuckling, great job here Mark!!!! can't breathe for the matian atmos. Perfectly done!!!!
