True without the guy at the end, the focus changes but I like the empty scene.
His gun seems to be too heavy to be holding in one hand and I would beef him up
a bit, more muscular thighs. Also I don't think men look good in tights :-) At
least not action men.

This is a space station, gravity can be lower than usual.

But can inertia?

I am not sure. What troubles me is the reason why he carries a gun at the 
ready. There is nothing in the scene that suggests any threat to him. I 
would be far more happy if he were a crew member just looking out of the 
window. That would make the scene more... 'equilibrated'?
Otherwise, I think this is well-done really!

   Ah... I was thinking the "guy standing at the end" was invisible! :)

   I'm with Tek about the colored lights, and with Thomas about the apparent 
lack of a threat to the guy. And like Stephen, I think the image without the 
armed guy had a nice composition.

   Great work!

I agree about the firearm (which is not a good idea inside a space station
anyway). A patrolman, or better yet, a robot/probe, would make more sense,
I'd think. If those are windows, they are unnecessarily huge, and the stars
should not be visible with interior lighting. So, getting rid of the windows
and adding a dozen or more units down a deep corridor may be an idea.

I think I'd like this animated. First the empty scene, then the guy with
the gun comes sneaking in, searching for something...

Ever seen Alien(s)? :)

No. Put more mass to help absorb the recoil. Beter yet: use particles beam 
weapons or some sort of energy projectors.
