Another beaut of a creation Nathan. My only reservation would be with the gold filagree in the lower right corner. It seems that your reflection mat didn't quite reach there, leaving it a bit on the flat side. Otherwise, the main mondalla and gem work is spot-on my friend. Along with a beautiful choice of color.
I like the other one better, this is to bright for me. :D The mother of pearl sheen looks great, and the center jewel and background look stunning. Great job.
Fully agree with Anastasia's comment about the stars and gems. I like some shades of turquoise a lot better than others and you've definitely got one of the nicest ones here. At its best it combines two of my favourite colours - blue and greens - in one bonus package. I especially like the centre jewel here which reminds me of a planet. I think this draws the stars and gems together nicely.
Thanks, everyone. I'll go check out the lower right corner, Curt. I think this one would look better in a window (a real one) than on a desktop. I really appreciate you stopping by for a look.
