Quite a striking image for just being composed of spheres and some CSG.  The
earth is convincing but I believe that a media atmosphere that hugs the Earth a
little closer would be better.  The lighting is great with a nice balance of
shadown and ambience.  I love how the space gets lighter as the view approaches
the sun.

Nice picture, I like the touch of the two dishes on the capsule. The clouds
could have been a little more swirly, though.

Funny that you and I picked basically the same concept for our entries. Ah, but
yours is so much nicer than mine. My only nitpick is the clouds look a bit like
stucco to me. Otherwise, a terrific image.

Nice concept and good realization of it.  The clouds on the planet seem a bit
thick.

The clouds on the planet would look a bit better if the shadow was soffened or
not there.

I really like the concept. Very original. The light is perfect and the people
inside give you easily a concept about how huge this thing is. The concept is
well researched and documented in the text. Good work.
