My only suggestionis to tone down the secularity on the planet a bit. Otherwise a good piece of work.
Pass no temptation lightly by, for one never knows when it may pass again!

If that's Earth at night then the darkside shouldn't have clouds visible. Also the lighted side of the globe should show bluish tint from the atmosphere and oceans. And yes I agree with Incarnadine tone down the specularity.

Same comment: less specularity on the planet, otherwise it looks like a bomb has just exploded ;-) Josselin

erm... no... thanks for the comments, but I've documented myself on the reflectivity of the ocean from space and the scene is perfectly normal. if the sun hits it like that that region is obviously in daytime, and you can see that by the fact that there are no lights on the earth in the region. it's just black because that fit with the mood of the scene, and i liked it like that. perfectly normal. so that's 'reflection,' not specularity.

perhaps some well placed negative lights would enhance the contrast between light and dark, especially on the station in the lower right. i think the dark side of the dome could do with being darker, almost black, judging from the direction of the main light in the scene.
