def needs sbs, some advice, you can click on publish later, then upload all your sources and sbs's... that way it is all on screen at the same time and you wont get too many low votes... cause honestly, right now i cant see any of the source... goodluck.

Very creative! Suggestion: Add some stars. Not only is it outer space, but with just plain black you have a lot of empty space. Stars will fill it up and make it all look more realistic. Good work and good luck!!

Excellent job! My only suggestion is to change the shadow, [based on the Earth] it should be rotated about 90º CCW, darkened, and shouldn't be as soft (look at some of the moon landing shots ). And don't listen to anyone who says to put in stars, you are correct in not putting them.

looks great! i'd love to see some stars though!

Edit: Sorry, i should;ve read the other comments before posting this one. The key is for this image to be pleasing to the eye.. realism is also important, but the difference between using a black background and a black background with a few white dots in it isn;t very much, so you may want to give it a go. Good luck!

the image is awesome
