Good effort since you say you're new to this. I like the reflections on the water - the ripple/wave effect is nice. I find the sun (?) a bit blinding - I don't think I could deal with this on my desktop! The texture of the sky is a little bland/predictable. I am much more drawn to the watery reflections which seem to have a lot more depth and complexity. I'd suggest renaming it, too, but that's just because it looks more like a sun setting to me - albeit a blinding sun on an alien planet!

Keep up the good work. If you're just starting, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Thanks for posting at 1024x768, too - it seems 1024x768 has disappeared as an option from most images. Assuming that gets sorted out (soon?!!) you might want to upload at 1600x1200 so that people with larger monitors can also appreciate your work.

Good job.

Yikes! Quite the explosion. My eye is drawn to the watery reflections too, which are nicely done. Actually... I like the title...

It was originally going to be blue.

But I wanted a bright orange sun.. and the reflections made it absolutely beautiful to me.

..Tomorrow I will upload a self-portrait of myself.

Yes, I could imagine this scene as our sun grows beyond its now relatively stable presence. I think this works very well. It reminds me very much of my Helios image in a future state. Nice work with Super Blade.

Amazing abstract work..Fantastic colors and design..Perfect title..Well done..

Well I definitely needed my sunglasses there for a while:) but I think this is gorgeous !!:) *favs*

This makes me think of Heaven :-)....what a peaceful place to be!
