I really like your Earth user added image
I guess the longer I look at it the more the light reflecting off it makes it look more like a marble to me lol, but it looks cool overall.

couple things I noticed, the earth isn't exactly round, it's actually flat... just kidding, but the earth is actually slightly wider at the equator, yours looks a bit taller than wider. There is a thread on a photorealistic earth that I believe people are discussing the measurements or something like that. The other thing was the bright reflection of light seems way too intence

My answer to the question is, when there is finally peace there will be no human.

the only things i can spot is that, the stars are the same colour in the background, the earth nedd more of a blue haze, and also it need to be tilted, cause the earths axis is not exactly straight.

Seems like it could use some back-it-up type of material. A space cloud, or something. I dunno. Like was previously mentioned, the glare on the ocean is really distracting. Other than that, superb work mate!

wow nice job, nailed it Jaroehl user added image though i reckon the intensity of light(reflection on earth) is abit to high since its just a white circle but thats my thought :p also kind of reminds me off the introduction of heros the new series... user added image
