i think your clouds look to 'solid' - might look better of you faded them
around the edges slightly

How did you do the surface texture?

That aside, the clouds to look a tad solid. Personally, I'd do the
model in three parts, 1) I'd create the land mass by mapping it to a
sphere (Not that I've currently had much success with such things) and
apply the pigmentation. 2 I'd create another sphere for the water and
tweak the radius until it looked right. and 3) I'd create the
athmosphere.

Of course that's just me, and I hardly ammount to an expert.

on the whole though, your model looks like a good start. nice work.

Sorry, we've moved on to locomotives.

Thos're wierd clouds. They look injection molded. ;) Make 'em
translucent and you're there. (Or media! ;)

The stars fade out closer to the Earth...it's surrounded by an area of 
complete darkness. Maybe you should check your media settings...or 
max_trace_level, but since there isn't a very sharp boundary, I doubt 
that is the problem.

I actually did that on purpose, I used a bmp for the stars, after blacking
out a circle in the center.  I rendered it at 1024x768, then shrunk it with
photoshop.  The stars are more visible in the larger pic.

Because... it's hard to see the stars when there's something brighter in the
way.  I guess...

Definitely an improvement, I think! Looks very good..  :o)

Well, I see no stars (?) if they are supposed to be there.. Anyway my
idea for a further improvement, would be to make the shadows from the
clouds a little less dark.. And by the way, do you use 2 layers for the
clouds? Then, the bottom layer looks a bit strange.

But I like the whole of it, nevertheless.
