Description
Hydakeen is the official capital of the League of Suns, a confederation with 8 member worlds located roughly 75 parsecs from Terra. When Hydakeen was first settled in 3192 it was a religious colony of the Kolobite Church. Over time it has since evolved into a constitutional republic with a high degree of religious freedom, although practicing Kolobites still make up a large majority of the population.
In the background of the picture you can see the base of the orbital beanstalk (also called a space elevator), located in Templeton, the largest city on the planet. The beanstalk was erected in 3417 by a development company that overestimated the amount of trade the world could attract and went bankrupt as a result. The beanstalk was very nearly shut down before being taken over by another company, which has been able to operate it at a modest profit. The city of Gateway, which serves as Hydakeen's primary starport, sits in geostationary orbit at the top of the beanstalk.

Splendid futuristic cityscape. Nice POV. Looks like even after a 1000+ years things would be more or less similar to now expect with better looking building....

Great lighting, texturing and composition. I'm especially impressed by the texturing on the dress and how it drapes over the figure.
