Amazing colours wonderful image.

I like this very much; the iridescent colors blend so harmoniously, and the little glimpse of "space" beyond is wonderful. Beautiful work!

Fascinating vision. Excellent work!!

Mark this is such a wonderful image and your vision of earth from this pov is superb. Love the booster rockets blasting that beautiful blue as the earth slowly moves away. The ship is so colorful also and filled with more detail that the eye can take in. Great work, this one really made my day :)

It's ALIVE! Looks like a transfer of energies from some cosmic being to the Earth. Amazing creation, Mark.

OH this makes me think about my childhood, when my brother and I played we were out in the space and discovered wierd planets. He loved so much sciense fictions and made me imagine the same as him. We had alot of fun. This is such a lovely image so full of joy and beautiful details. I like it very much.

Clouds move Across the land Happily clouds Crossing water Clouds become So much more Cosmos Reflected In riverine depths Causing vision To expand Mind follows

This is like infrared and heat vision - the deep blue river, clouds form move and break apart. The colors just throb - kinda' parallel with the throb of life on the great blue ball. A relationship with maps and near earth orbit photography, but more mental - optic flashes of events below. Very cool.

wonderffull and awesome composition my friend x Hope you had a great brithday and my gift will come one of these days for sure...x

Great colors and contours. In my minds eye, I look at your imaginary map and see Ferncliff, Kentucky where I used to own a small house on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River with flat, rich Indiana farmland on the far side (late 60s). The only thing missing is the railroad below the bluff. How's that for moving from the abstract to the concrete? :-) Also I'd need to reorient your map by turning it about 120-130 degrees clockwise. First time I've thought about Ferncliff in years. Thanks you for taking me back.

SUMPTUOUS! I've no idea how you do these in Photoshop, but you are indeed the master of your universe!

fine image, mark.

OMG, I would follow this map to the ENDS of this world!! I knew there was a universe out there full of life and color and magic and soul and wonder---and here it is. I am transported and rapt and I LOVE this!!!

love the textures and very creative work. happy birthday

This is wonderful. The depth you have given your texturing is outstanding. Glad to hear that you had a good birthday. I wish you many more joyous birthdays in the future.

As soon as I saw your imaginary map that has make me think of the Nile curving the desert part of Egypt ! Super color combination ... beautiful work and so creative !

It's amazing how a curved swath of intensely deep blue/black can change a totally nonrepresentational abstract into an outer space scene.

Very creative work. Great colours and textures! Really nice artwork!

Fantastic work, Mark. A wonderful and almost abstract piece. Brilliant take on mother earth seen from space.+5

This is a "SHOW OF COLOUR" : a singular "vision" of earth! Almost an abstraction. Like an imaginary map overhanged in a cosmic dimention... An "appetizing" empty and dark space, compeling us to go trought... This is a really infrangement(!) out of "common sense"...

OHHH!! It's beautiful and imaginative, full of fantasi and storys. Outstanding work, Mark

Amazingly beautiful piece of artwork my dear friend, love the beautiful colors in this wonderful work.....excellent done love it.
