Space Pictures

[Lionel Tabris]

Hello, I Love Space, So I Made Some Pictures of Mx-585-Mcknight (I Made The Name Up)
This Is A Closeup View Of Mx-585-Mcknight

Spoiler: Mx-585-Mcknight

*Telescope Removed*

doesnt really look like space, and i think you should use some more variations of color

also, the "close up". does your telescope come with its own noise filter? its just the same image with a noise filter applied.

it needs more depth, space is infinite and yours looks too shallow, add more stars in the background, even ones as small as one pixel to show some more distance

I did Not Add A Noise filter
I Set The Colors Available To 24
And I Made it more open

looking better, i think the lower half of the picture could use a little more of the distant stars like you did up top, the little one pixel sized guys.

im thinking more of a concentration across the picture diagonally from top left to bottom right with them thinning out, kind of a side view of the milky way like you can see on a good dark night here on earth. i think a top left --> bottom right flow would fit your placement of larger items well.

basically take the way you did the small stars across the top of the image and make it diagonally top-left to bottom-right and add a bit more.

also the pink areas i think could use a little bit of blue in them. mainly that top left corner as it looks like it wants to be a gas cloud from the shape and way you did the color/light variants in it and i think some blue would set the whole thing off

just my 2 cents

stars are not blurry circles hanging in space
they should look like points of light.

look at the sun. well--not directly. but look at some high-quality pictures of it. that is a decent example of a close-up star. it is a clearly defined, sharp shape, giving off very thin beams of light.

look into the night sky at a particularly bright star, like sirius. it gives off a glow but the glow is incredibly subtle. what is more noticeable is the actual hard shape of the star itself.

when you see blurry light halos around a point of light, it means you're looking at it as it (the light itself) is surrounded in a fog or cloud of some sort. this is because the water (or dirt, etc) molecules floating in the air are reflecting light as well.

stars are surrounded by lightyears of absolute void, and darkness--what is there to reflect light and make a halo? nothing.
