Maybe one of the Myrmidons should be bright.

There could be another (much less brighter) light source around. Or another ship behind the camera providing reflected luminance. That would do the job.

I would've made the star more orange; and given the Orion a bit more perspective. But it's pretty nice - it'll serve its task admirably. :)

what really bothers me is that it really lacks any contrast... looks like a 100 years old photo

The sun isn't bright enough. You can see the centre of it, and being in space you should have been blinded by now :p
