Description
My Collier's/Von Braun 1952 lunar lander has jettisoned it's Lunar Orbit Insertion tanks, andsuccessfully landed on the moon.
I couldn't find any NASA lanar photos that looked suitably Bonstellian, so I used a photo of a dramatic Earth rock formation, slightly photoshopped. Rendered in Bryce.

Well done!

Very nice. I especially liked the idea you used Bryce for the lunar surface. NASA surface photos of the moon ended up showing such formations to be micrometeoroid beaten over eons. Liked the rover vehicle as well.

I think you capture the Bonstellian lunar surface. You are too hard on yourself. Here is a link to see what I mean. http://airandspace.si.edu/blogmedia/LunarMural001.jpg I would maybe play with your lighting a bit to give it a less atmospheric look with high contrasted shadows. That may add the Bonstellian look you are aiming for. Your modeling is spot on as always.

Great modelling and scene!

Fantastic. Good points, vncnt9663, regarding the atmospherics.

This is a beautiful image as is. Space art is not necessarily about making something look exactly correct but getting the viewer to feel like he is seeing the real thing. Mission accomplished.

Nice work. Definitely achieved the effect you were going for. And I agree with vncnt9663, though I don't know if your atmospherics are light scatter or overcompensating in post work for a dark image. Bonestel was pretty meticulous about depicting scenes accurately (for the knowledge of the day) and if I remember correctly, his work tended to be very clean and contrasty.
