This picture has inspired me to write a story for it, so here it is:
A young teenage woman studies three skewed tombstones solemnly, she kneels to face the stones. Around her neck is a gemstone of midnight blue color and she knows why she has it. It is a family heirloom passed down to their children. Now she has earned it along with the respect of many who have come before her. She is a child of the 21st century yet now thanks to a fondness for history and the internet she has dug deep into her own ancestry. Now with the knowledge that the blood of hundreds of generations flows through her she now stands at the forgotten gravesite of some of those family members. It disturbs her seeing that no one has taken care of what they see as a memory. She caresses the stone carefully and bows her head in respect. Looking up to the night sky she sees another world as it sails through space alongside hers. The scene comforts her and she rises to smile at the thought of as long as she is alive, her ancestors will live on, in her memory and her heart. Most importantly she will have a part of them in her as well, in her blood. She turns and leaves with a newfound respect for the past.

mie mi se pare ca rezolutia e perfecta, in full view chiar un pic prea mare (am ceva cu scrolling downthe pic, eventual febra musculara)...
btw planeta imi seamana un pic cu luna...nice colours, quite relaxing.

I feel like the planet is going to pummel into me, it looks very realistic. This is just plain out beautiful, it has a mysterious appeal to it that I can't take my eyes off of it. The solemn green creates a deep impact which leaves both a smooth and rugged feel, best of both worlds

Pretty nice, good work. 
I like your planet texture--it looks to me like an aerial photo of some countryside, I think I see a few roads and such--is that what it is?
Your colors match well, too. A rare combination in space-art, as well. Good work.
