Wow -- that's cool! I'll have to give you extra credit just for getting up that early! :) Very nice sky, and the city lights are wonderful.

This is a cool pix.
I like the 'hollywood' feel to the lighting.
I think you should have finished higher. So be it.

Thank you everyone for your comments and voting. I had a lot of fun creating this Alien Landscape. I spent a whole day doing it. I used the following fruits/vegetables: kohlrabi, chayote, asparagus, broccoli, kiwi, turnip seeds and rambutan. I had to use the plastic alien to give a sense of proportion and to help make believe its another planet. Some of you thought that I didn't really need the alien, and I did take some pictures without it, but I thought I had to put it in. What drove me crazy was that I couldn't get the alien figure in focus as its surroundings. I also tried a lot of different lighting. I finally used a normal lightbulb to light the background hills, and used a white light on the front. The kohlrabi (the vegetable on the right) was the one that gave me the idea of doing this (it sure looked alien to me). Other variations I had was a red sky but opted for the black one because it seemed more real looking. As someone pointed out, I now realize that I could've had better lighting if I didn't use such a dark color for the ground. Thank you all for your comments.
