Space without end or limit

Hello from the Critique Club:

I have to echo many of the previous comments and say this was a very well set up idea and executed prefectly. I think the lighting is fantastic, it managed to get that soft curve we usually see from photos of planets and then plays up the inky blackness of space in a realistic manner.

I think a few more small pin holes may have helped add to the space feeling, most of the time I notice a plethora of stars in the background - and while you wouldn't want it to busy up the image, I think one or two more in the top right and bottom left corners would add to the realism.

The use of the spinning globe is an excellent example of creativity. I think you captured it very well - it looks exactly like a photo of Jupiter to me (a side without the storm) except for that harsh blue line. I'm not sure how it would play out if you tried this again with some masking tape over the equator to dull out that color - maybe worth a try?

The tilt of the globe is great, I like the fact we aren't looking at it with horizontal lines. The angle is just right; adding to the interest in subtle ways. Other than the blue line that looks a bit out of place, I think this shot is perfect. I'm in awe!

LOL I like it! Only thing I might change is making the wrist on the left hand straighter! Very funny!

You have green trees! I"m JEALOUS!!!! :) Just kidding, must be wonderful to see sunshine and green leaves in November! :) I like the idea behind this shot, almost like a hiding place in the trees, looking out on the rest of the world but the contrast between the two is just a bit much, the trees on the outside are almost too bright! I started at a 7 but am moving this to an 8

Fun idea. It would look cool if there was some motion implied - a little blur as the 22 is caught in the hands, A longer exposure with a flash at the end? Not that I've ever done that...
