A bit of art.....

If the backgrounds are renders too, not stock pics, wouldn't it be better to wait the few extra minutes to render the backgrounds at 1600x1200 or whatever the size is you're using for that particular picture? Or is the rendering THAT slow?

Which software are you using for the background ? Terragen ? If so, how did you get the lensflare into the "back" ?

Fantastic pictures, especially the first one.
The image hosting site sucks though - hit me with all kinds of PITA popups. Why not use se.net's gallery instead?

Its not so bad if you provide direct links to the images, rather than to the php scripts that generate the popups. At least, I get none if I go to the direct link in IE. The url to the image can easily be changed with the "clickable thumbnails" text.
