When I saw the detail and how u went into the pic, I started to smile a bit.

looking artificial planet ring you got there :thumbsup:

Forgive me, for myself and what I am going to write really don’t mean
to hurt anyone’s feelings, especially the winner’s. I didn’t follow the
whole challenge at all, and I am no professional, it’s just what I want
to say.
I recall the instructions of the challenge : “capture an epic scale -
a pivotal element of a vast galactic civilisation or conflict” and the
title “Grand Space Opera”. It sounds majectic, vast, not seizable in
the first moment because of it’s tragedy and importance, scale of
legends - and what Im looking at looks rather like a fill scene in
a movie. The city reminds me permanently of Coruscant. It’s just
not very - imaginative. Rather common space themes put together and
a bit much empty space, which is necessary for this sort of arrangement.
The big asteroid looks like he’s going to crash into the ring. The Proxi-
mide spaceship on the left front seems to cause the explosion at the
other and of the ring by a perspectively weird looking green beam.
It’s really professional work, the lighting, awesome details and the
impressive arrangement. But as a very good standard space image it
doesn’t to justice to the otherwise underrated imagination’s of a
Grand Space Opera caught in one image.

 I didn't mean to harm anyone. Could be that the magnificence of the piece
 startled me so much that I now can't think of the time when it didn't exist yet
 and therefore act as if the standard of this image would be quite ordinary.
 I like it nevertheless. Great work *confused*.

Congrats, Landsmann! :wink:

I think it looks very impressive, the details, the perspective, the planet, space, etc. great job, man!

But I have one problem with the arrangement of the whole scene. Maybe there’s too much in the foreground, think I would found it more “grand” if the asteroids and one of the ships weren’t there.
In my opinion, for a great space picture, there must be left very much space and only few materia, so that the tension between the planets and the space or the more distant planets/sun becomes more intensive.

For now, my eye jumps back and forth between the two ships, the asteroids and the space station in the middle. I can hardly catch it as a whole picture. But maybe thats only my perception

The other critic is, that the scene looks pretty realistic and “normal”, as said from someone before me. It looks like a typical science-fiction Hollywood movie-scene. I wouldn’t say this makes the picture worse, but thats only my opinion, I myself like art the best when you brake the rules. =) But maybe that’s not the point in this contest.

Please don’t take this post too serious, I am pretty far from your calibre. So this is only what I feel about it, I am no professional.

anyways, keep up the good work!

Hi Folks.

Thanks 4 the AWESOME feedback in my both threads about the GSO-Challenge.
I feel very honoured about this. and I try to keep no questions unanswered!
:cool:

Hi, Irratio

Thank´s 4 your feedback, and nice to see that you nevertheless like my pic :slight_smile:

I never thought this would be one of the winning pictures.
It was my first Challenge and i tried to make it as good as possible.

The cool thing is that this forum calls people from the whole world to share their work with each other, to comment it and to gife feedback. That´s the point where you get better. if you got only positive feedback… you stand still. but if you got critic you can try to make things better.

nevermind… I love every kind of feedback.

Thanks & Stay tuned
Alex

That’s a good point, which I’ve almost completely forgotten: sharing on both sides. If the art
work I have in mind would be exposed here, too, I’d gain much more than from just doing
critics, and I think my comments would improve. So let me make a promise that youll have
the opportunity to take revenge by the next months :arteest:.
