Wow Geoff, that's beautiful!

What makes it take so long to render on so
many computers? The blocks being isosurfaces?

You could just put something in front of those
blocks that line up just behind the glows, perhaps
a pipe or ladder. You could also remove the focus
from that area by moving the main glow futher
out and maybe even increase the arc.

I love the moss! Is it textural or procedural? Is it
applied per block or on the whole structure? It
looks a little strange on the right side where it
abruptly stops below a pipe or ladder or something.

I think the vapor looks great now, strong in the center
and gets wispy towards the edges. Is it just one
mass of media or several or what?

What is the little red light on the far left turret?

I think the background sky doesn't live up to the rest
of the picture.

Still, a totally awesome render!
