Valient attempt at surrealism to create your fantasy world. The sun - whoops, I mean Jupiter - is exposed very well.
Unfortunately this is a good example of a perfectly fine image that is destroyed in post processing. It is obvious to the viewer that the redish orange sky is artificially generated since the cloud edges are not white as they should be.
It is also very obvious that the horizon and sky were artificially separated. The lighting on the horizon is not even remotely accurate given the sky. It is very washed out and the transition line needs a better feathering.
This just did not turn out very well. You probably worked pretty hard on it too.
It is also possible some reviewers will know that Io is the wierdest and most volcanically active object in the solar system and vote you lower because they know it could not have buildings like yours does.
There were something like 10 simultaneous volcanic erruptions detected on Io when the first Pioneer spacecraft flew by it in the late 70s. They are so common and so large that the first erruption was discovered well before arrival by the navigational team. They only wanted to take a picture to see the exact location of the moon with respect to the spacecraft so they could make final flightpath adjustments. You can imagine their surprise seeing a giant volcanic plume a quarter the size of the moon.
I'd chalk this attempt up to experience and move on. |

| just being picky (and who am i?) but i think if you cropped this so that the right 1/4 of the picture was out (puts the sun on/near the edge), it might remove the powerline distraction and force focus on the sun |

| Not a real fan of the post processing done on this photo. |
