----------------------------------------
I really apologise that my uploads seem few and far between. My interest in devantART seems to be waning slightly. Anyway, here's a new wallpaper for you to enjoy. Might be susceptible to further edits.

*Edit* 29th May, 2009
Changed the shoreline - should look slightly better now and the water shouldn't look like it's "floating" or that's the hope at least. Over 11 hours of rendering now involved.

No one can go wrong with a sunset as a background, but this is a great 3D render! It's extremely realistic!" (Suggested by *Druology and Featured by ^splintered13)

Nice overall feeling!
The only thing i have noticed is that considering the position of the light source the planet should be darker as it hides from it.
Just think of the light source, the planet and the viewer and their real position in 3D. Is like with the moon during a solar eclipse, you can see a really shiny ring and the rest shadow.

Everything looks amazingly real, so all my respects to you and your hard work! I think you have the patience of a saint!
Hope you can see my point and don't take it personally.
Great work
Cheers

Beautiful composition as always. We had a collaboration with Ladyofspira before and I asked her for it just because I love her way of using camera point of view and overall scene design. Here you can see once again using simple elements to create a beautiful scene. Which is very similar with real world. Less elements - but more detail in each.

However there are things I need to critique. Wispy clouds always look great on sunsets you don't need any more detail. But island looks too much simple even for a silhouette. When you move your eyes to the water you'll be impressed by the detail and realism of it. Especially the reflection of the sun is the most realistic one I've seen for a long time. You may noticed the spreading of the light from the center to the outside of the reflection area just like in the real world.

When it comes to shore line it loses all the realism because currently water looks like it's hovering over the shore. It would be great if it looks like it's moving back with the tide and leaving wet sand behind.

Other than it's always a great pleasure to see new works from you and looking forward for more.

Thanks to =runemetsa for making my avatar.

Probably on eof your most realistic scenes in a while :clap: much of which is passed off to the amazingly natural distribution of waves in the sea and the realism of the beach sand :omg: the planet is blended in nicely too :)

Hey, you did a really great scene here, very realistic and I really love the moon mystically in the sky. Very beautiful, the beach sand looks really nice, although it looks really dry where the waves may have washed over.
:iconzwordarts:
awesome work!
just the planet is not very good:P

The sea line is leaving a shadow on the beach, which is annoying, and false.

Else, nice work.

I have to agree that there are some flaws, but first off, it's TG 0.9, and second, I find this to be one of your better pieces.

The sun being right near the planet is something I haven't seen from you before, very daring, but very cool. The other thing I noticed is the water, absolutely stunning and great reflection from the sun. I do like the sand as well and I wonder if the darker sand layer were raised just slightly higher if it would clean up that hovering water look.

The island silhouette is weird, since it doesn't really have any features and seems kind of flat, but I think you need something there and that just a flat ocean going into the horizon wouldn't work here. Cool image though, I do like it a lot!
