Made this one about a year ago as I was practicing the techniques in Darcy
Johnston's excellent planetary atmosphere tutorial. Hope I did it justice
:)

Nice, but you should have used always_on_top.

Strange how we don't try and correct natures imperfections (e.g. lens
flare - the picture also implies the existence of the camera and a hexagonal
aperture) as that would then appear less perfect (and for anyone who would
dispute that lens flare is a natural phenomenon, my definition of nature
includes humanity and it's meddlings).

I like the image, but the starfield looks very flat for some reason, try
randomizing the colours a bit with a slight tinge of blue or red on the
odd star.

I find it strange that we must put any stars in at all. If you look at
any pictures around earth orbit you don't see any. The sun would be the
brightest thing and wash out the stars.

Personally I would like to see the earth from space with my own eyes. I
don't usually see a lens flare when I look around so I see the lens flare as an
artifact of my not being there. Since POV-Ray does not put in a lens flare by
default I feel that the artist took effort to make me feel like I wasn't there.
I would go the other direction and try to make it seem more real instead of less
real. For example you could make the frame of a window visible, or maybe the
interior of a space suit helmet.

Very nice. Interesting to observe that including imperfections of nature
(lens flare) add to the perfection (I know that people will argue that lens
flare is man-made so therefore not natural but my definition of nature
includes humankind and its' meddlings).

Cool. It's got that thin crescent you want to see in a space sunrise. I'd
maybe make the sun a tad brighter for real contrast between light and dark.
(Or maybe it's just my display.) Great pic nonetheless! :)

It certainly had atmosphere (or not?) and I am wondering what part of
the universe this is, as there seem to be many more stars than we have
over here??

Thanks guys!
As I said in my initial post it was a scene focused around learning the
"planetary atmosphere" techniques I learned in Darcy Johnston's excellent
tutorial. The simulated sun (and lens flares) were done quickly with
lens.inc and the stars were just added at random to fill the background a
bit.
If I could find a high resolution mapping of the moon I might try to redo
that scene with an eye more towards "realism".
