Description
For some reason, I just can't seem to get enough of this kind of thing. Anyway, this was made in Photoshop CS3, the planet started out from the Lunarcell plugin, with 3 modifying layers added to it. The stars are also from a plugin called Glitterato (both are from Flaming Pear) and were modified in about 3 or 4 layers. The nebula is about 6 layers of cloud photos, 2 layers of the random-cloud filter. I added some Lens-flare larger stars for good measure, and viola!
Thanks for taking a look!

realistic looking - nice
Magnific space image..love the texture on the planet! Wonderful work :)
Amazing!!!
Well, you do it so well. Another grand glimpse into the unknown.
Beautiful!!
Well said, Nancy! Nebulae are fascinating, and yours are so convincing.
Very NICE!!! David
Think the Nebula in this one looks more realistic than most.
Excellent.
Beautiful space image, great texture on the planet ! Nicely done :)
I'm not alone in hoping you never tire of these...because we don't either. Each view is like a privileged bird's eye view into deep space. Pure peace. Perhaps that's why? Beautiful, Michael..to say the very least! (Long live Flaming Pear..I humbly owe the finished product of every one of my fractals to its various plug ins. For me, it's become indispensable, and incomparable to any other filters I've tried. )
