Parts of 8 images from my recent trip to Las Vegas.
The landscape here is all from Red Rocks, just outside of Vegas. The large moon & smaller blue planet - a huge christmas ball ornament inverted and resized. The stars are just that - stars I shot during my drive out there, and the meteor is from the Treasure Island (TI) fireworks display.
To all those that made this a favorite and left supportive and positive comments, Thank You!

Brad, congratulations! I'm sad you didn't make it to 7.0, or to the front page, but glad for your very good finish. Congratulations! What in the world are "koki pens"?
this is a fun pic, B! congrats on top 10. it's sad that it got so many low scores and comments about it not being photography. if Expert Editing was the only type of challenge here i could understand their comments. but, it's just a small part, meant to be fun. it's too bad that they feel the need to punish people who participate in the challenges because everyone doesn't agree with their definition of photographic art.
WOW!! I did not see this before as I did not get a chance to go through all the entries. This would have been my top pic. I love it! Congrats on 7th place, although you deserved first. jmho
Outstanding! My kind of image!! Hope you'll share your secrets! Love the fine detail and tones. The moon and the asteroid really make it special and move your eye around the image. Making it a fav.
Well this is good, nice job with the processing. Two things though that bother me. First is the lighting on the foreground, it comes from a wrong direction on the red rocks that are in the front part of the photo and I would suggest darkening them. The other is the very slight movement of the stars, I either want them stationary or with very definitive startrails and this is somewhere in between but that´s just my personal preference. I like this outcome though and gave it a 7.
Although I would never try this type of Photo-art, I enjoy looking at it. Now for the critique. The only thing I notice that could be improved is the light source actual, differs from the light source suggested. Possibility some creative dodge and burn could have redirected the suggested light.8
Somebody has GOT to be from Utah or at least visited it recently...hmm? Anyway, your 'photos' rock...literally! I think of all the photos in the challenge (though yours does have some flaws [like mine does too - it's very similar in ways]), your photo is the total essence of the challenge and the best presented imho. I don't (or rarely) vote in challenges I enter but if I did, you'd get a fat honkin' 10 from me. I think a little blur along the hard edges would have blended the layers together a little more realistically...that is all. Love it...nice work!
Excellent creation. Overall I am glad these types of images dont heavily populate these challenges but it is nice to see one that is done so well. A creative idea executed well with excellent editing. Bumpin gup.
Wow, it certainly has the impact.
It's not to my tastes but Im sure it will do very well.
How much of it is photography and how much digital art though? (That old arguement).
I am more than halfway through my voting and this is the best editing I have seen. It is looks real and not super photoshopie (i dont think thats a word, sorry) Good job.
not to get too technical but the position of the plannets isn't right, and the direction of sun would be incorrect i believe. I am of course just jokeing lol this is a great picture! faved
Awesome... the first shot in this challenge that caught my eye as somebody actually taking advantage of the "almost no limits" rule. Hope it does well, hopefully there's a list of how you got here. Very cool
