Thanks. The view is probably much as this one is, though ...

Nice, I like it.
Perhaps you could try a change int the lighting? I think a dusky sky
might work well - maybe 30 minutes after sunset or something like that -
with orange glows coming from the windows. It would make them look a
little more "homely".
And perhaps a few wispy clouds below the globes would add some interest
to the background and give a really strong sense of height.

Well, I'm imagining a true 'skyhook' with nothing except possibly a
counterweight at the other end, away out beyond the geostationary point.

Yes, I've thought about putting some clouds in and the birds are a good
idea.

Definitely a thought. Although this would mean I'd have to learn how to
use the copy of Poser3 I've got sitting on my hard drive ...

Hi
!) Great idea - nicely done
2) Lighting - somehow ity looks dusty & dull - are you using fog? if so dump
it and try media! long render times but brighter and cleaner.
3) add a figure
4) add some birds
5) None of the above - just ignore my ramblings.
All the best
Mick

What about an infinite lake of boiling magma beneath the spheres (Of
course, the spheres contain senior officers from a certain behemoth
software company, which shall go un-named).
Actually, I like the image already. I'm not sure it has to have
anything else.

Gilles Tran usually has a story to go with his images. He may very well
make up the stories after he has made the images - I don't know how he
works - but my point is, if you have a story you want to tell with this
scene, perhaps what is missing in the scene, to convey that story to the
viewer will be obvious to you.
On the other hand, you may not want to take advice from somebody like
me, who never has a story to tell with his images. :)
