while its a cool nebula, nice depth and all, im not a big fan of the shape.

great texture on the planets and good stars. love this piece all around basicaly

I really enjoy this wallpaper.....very (thinking to self of the right word) well, there is nothing to say about this......there are so many different ways for whomever views this work of art that no one word, or many to make sentences, or sentences to make paragraphs, or paragraphs to make essays to explain this.....BRILLIANT I love the coloration chosen.....keep it up.

Seeing that this is a collaboration, I will state it as both of you, as I am not too sure which parts you both undertook to create the piece.

Colour:
Well, the colour choice does suit the title quite nicely in this one. Jade/turquoise greens and ghostly whites are the main colours used for basically the whole piece. I would have liked to see perhaps a little bit more colour variation, but for now it's quite substantial. On the other hand, I like your colour variation for both planets as you haven't gave them both the exact same colour as I have seen in many other pieces for different artists. The upper one has more jade making it looks more water like, where as the lower one has less jade and looks icier. As for the three little moons/planets, they too encompass a similar colour style but all have different variations of the colour choice.
Moving onto the nebula formation and its colour. Each colour distinction nicely matches each texture distinction, very well done if I might add. Cooler colours are use for soft areas, and more vigourous colours are used for sharper areas. I find most artists do this well, but here you two do it even better.

Style/Texture:
In conjunction with colour, style and texture these two areas determine each other dramatically and sometimes hard to control. However as I said in this they match up very nicely, resulting in a very pristine look.
I also compliment your planet texture, they are very nice indeed, and really do resemble that of ice and perhaps some water in there as well. You two manage to create a nice feel through these two planets, as well as their moons.
The nebula holds it's own texture to the rest of the image. Naturally it needs to be mainly soft because it is a nebula and here you two I think manage to create that look nicely. The texture is very spontaneous, which makes it look more realistic.
Finally the star field is another important aspect and I am glad to see you two have made it so the stars all have differing magnitudes. Often I see star fields that boast a very flat look because all the stars are the same brightness.
Excellent work in this area.

Objects/Structure:
I enjoy look at this one because of the planet placement. It's good to see that you don't engulf the entire piece with them but you hide them away, in a certain mysterious way. Because of this the nebula I think is the main focal point to the image. It has a very 3D look, and I admire they way you two have created that look and feel.
I haven't so far commented on the asteroids... For me when I first saw them I felt like they seemed too out of place and didn't fit the piece's main criteria but naturally with anything the more I look the more I like, so now they are a nice little feature that catches my eye every now and then.
Finally to some of the bright stars. I notice that all space artists like to emphasize the brighter stars with a sharp crosshair in them to make them feel and look brighter. This effect in real life is actually created by a telescope and it's spider. The spider holds the secondary mirror in place and is located at the top aperture of the scope. It basically like a X surrounded by a circle which it the main tube, and a little elliptical mirror at its center. When light passes through the scope some of it cannot get past the spider (naturally because it's metal) and so a crosshair pattern is created. You often see this in many famous space photography.
I hope you don't already know that...otherwise I wrote all that for nothing.

Theme/Concept:
Well, as I approach the end of the comment, I come to the theme and concept. I feel as if there is a darker part to this, somewhat illusive almost is the feeling I get sometimes. Usually when I look towards the nebula, but then as I look towards the planets I feel a more calming sensation. I find that particularly interesting.
It's this strange schism that makes me think deeply about the image. Too much in some ways...
But all in all you create a very nice concept with the placement of each part.

Composition/Overall:
And finally...
Well I have enjoyed commenting on this one, it is very well done and I credit you both for bringing it to us. It is nicely composed, but it is what I would expect to see from a space scene. My favourite area is the nebula as it uses the best of colour texture and style.
Well done, and I look forward to seeing your next piece.
