Not bad. Lose the text-wrap, it fills me with the urge to kill.

As a practice, either can be done well, and come out looking equally cool.

The text makes it look like a poster for a Jerry Bruckheimer film. :ick

Otherwise, cool. :)

Actually, I like the text. :) Simple can be good, but I find that in terms of renders, the best ones are a balance of the two.

Oh, and maybe it's me, but that Orion seems to be crying out for some subtle bump-mapping next to that ultra-realistic Earth. Looks like plastic in comparison, if you know what I mean. ;)

I hate him. Really, I do. He's going to force me to spend money to upgrade to a larger HDD, I just know it. It's inevitable. :hopping:

very nice Sandwich :yes:

i like how you did a thumbnail too, so as not to mess up the borders of us low-res users pages and not posting a big image so as to screw over us 56Kers ;)

very good!
