The sun is way to bright for Mars. I like the sky color and the clouds. There looks to be lichen on the rocks, and the sand pools look like water. Possibly this is Mars in the future, partially terraformed, with a mirror reflecting more sunlight to the surface, thus making the sun appear brighter...?
well, I would say you picked apart exactly my motivation on this piece.. or study. I often use actual mars images in grey scale converted with bryce for my terrain(mars type renders)however not with this piece. When an athmosphere has more hydrogen or hydrogen associated molecules the sun shining through it will appear different depending on the angle. oh and the sand pools are made to look like a muddy liquid
