This happened while working on a 'big sun'. Liked the results so I kept it. TVF&C!

More crunchy and yummy BIG SUN goodness. It reminds me of Independence Day for some reason. I love the beauty and the menace! Bravo! My only thought would be that I think there would be more of the sky colors reflected on the landscape. ;o)
Nice pov and atmo/lighting; good surface/strata and mood too!
Excellent scene Love the fire texture. Well done!!!
Extraordinary sky! I like the pov and the colors. It's a real cool work.
Awesome sky! I had some similar results playing with sky settings, and I know that the surfacing can be paiful with such a light from the sky. I do love this image as it is!!!
Intriguing combination of white sands and fire in the sky!
Great POV and wonderful intense colors!
As i love dramatic skies and u managed to lighten the terrain - i'd say it's a wonderful artwork!!
intense image, very good work
magnifique ciel !!!
Would liked to see more lighting on the terrain but still an excellent work of art.Hope you saved the settings for that wonderful sky.
fantastic sky! very nice composition with terrain and surface.
Agree with revenant71, when the sky is this exotic, the surfaces can be very hard to deal with. Excellent all round work here. Your POV shows off the sky nicely.
I'm Thinking that somewhere in the universe may be some eyes saw this sky as one of the last moment of their lives (red giant) may be the sun 4 billion years later from now Awesome and terrific image!!!
That is some awewome fire in your sky.
Wow! What A Atmo! Awesome David!
Amazing sky - and I think surface is excellent too!
superb work on the atmo and xlt job of getting the foreground surfaces to come out!
what a terrific sky, it seems burnin'!! beautiful pov and fog
...like looking down into a stream of lava! Fantastic!
Awesome, hellish looking sky!
Fantastic atmos, Like Me109 said hellish.
Wonderful, intriguing sky! XLT surfaces & composition!
I love that vibrant sky and how it does not totally control the landscape, which is oustanding with a nice photorealistic touch
Friggin' awesome...
Dave, one of my favorites of your work. Stunning and intense.
