Excellent Idea

Nice effort.

Too dark and not enough contrast. It's hard to make out the background, or the top of the creature.

MossyB, this depends on your screen settings and the screen you are using.

I have viewed the image with 3 different screens i can see pretty much everything.
(remmeber the background is further away and its dark soo that is supposed be darker than the foreground)

For the contrast. Where would you like more contrast?
In the dark there is not much contrast, in the image it is early in the morning and it is still dark. ( you can read my description to know more. )

If you can i would like you to see it on another monitor.
And let me know if it looks different.

Any other people having the same issue/problem, please respond or check screen settings.

A little dark on my netbook (not a great monitor but tried it just to see) .... it is better on my big monitor. Great image and wonderful story happening here!

very cool entry author...u could create some planet at the top right corner and trow a bit more light from there...Just an idea...best of luck

If i can find some time i will try out your idea, sounds like a good plan.
Thanks for all the comments everyone.
