* Very nice city. I love your use of pastel colors. Your spaceships are pretty awesome. The water does need some improvement. The gentlemen above really know their stuff so take notes! You will learn alot. I sure have.
Rashad and Horo have beaten me to just about everything I would want to say. There's plenty of scope to play around with this scene, perhaps making the city a little more prominent... the haze is dominating the image somewhat, if it is the dark shadow regions you wish to fill, avoid haze and ambient and instead use another weaker light source. Generally the bryce sun is not really up to lighting a scene - but there is nothing to stop you addind a very bright radial light to be the sun and then using the sun to illuminate the shadow somewhat. Good work.
Yes, the city is absolutely smashing. Perhaps leaving a bit of space for it on top. It looks pressed into the picture. And the water, so much of it, it really needs more transparency and much less reflection. I would also consider the move the whole picture downward for about one fourth of its hight - or cut the lower fourth. Nicely done, I repeat, and a busy place it is with all those crafts zipping around.
That city is cool cool cool!!!!!! I like the scene. The ship flying toward us is a nice touch. The water is good but too much reflection. Water and silver are not the same thing. both are reflective, but water is transparent also. The deeper the water the less transparent it will seem, but still a little transparency is always good in my book. It is a very clear distinction in my mind. Nice job! Also, I think I see colored light sources, a nice improvement over white lights.
