Don't be so hard on your self, that looks really cool! I love the stars

From klynn@minn.net:

I like the halos
=====
From agage@mines.edu:
I'm curious as to how you got the + shaped lens flare effect off of a halo...

=====
From jsaxton@folio.com:

A little too strange and fantastic for my damaged brain.

From jjanger@mail.cspp.edu:
   I like this image. I think that you did a great job on the star. However,
(isn't there always a however?) the thing that really robs this picture of
it's impact is the starfield. It detracts from the centerpiece. I would
be interested in seeing this without the distractions. Just the center star
kinda thing.

=====
From wozzeck@club-internet.fr:
I Understand your doubts. The real sky is not that lighted, but the idea of
cone-shaped
halos should be kept in mind. Maybe less "big" stars, more colours, and a blob
for the
front star?

From lowellr@globaldialog.com:
No ultracritic comments here, I like this better then many of the very
detailed "beutiful" CANNED backgrounds I have seen this period.


=====
From bill.marrs@pureatria.com:
Nice, attractive image.

=====
From libelle@webbwerks.com:
I like the center core, but the background starfield has too many lens flares.
Striking image!

From sonya_roberts@geocities.com:
Well, you may have thrown it together quickly, but the results are quite nice. 
I especially
like your "near distant" stars, all the little four-conical-halo ones.

=====
From Jean-Luc.Peuriere@wanadoo.fr:

Of course the result is not perfect, but the idea was good
=====
From amarok@geocities.com:
I can see that you did the same as I did this round - made a pretty simple
scene just to enter the competition with something.
I usually like your work very much though, and I look forward to see your
next entry.

From tholal@bga.com:
It may not look realistic but it still looks incredible. Great colors! I LOVE
halos!

=====
From bflickin@fix.net:
I think the halo effects on the right side came out the best.  
=====
From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Dramatic scene.  Clearly a major event in the life of this star.
Great colors.  Strange sharp edges within some of the halos.

=====
From alex@astro.queensu.ca:
star is too dark.  great halo work however

=====
From warwick@troll.no:
The background stars need completely replacing.

=====
From SSchanevil@aol.com:
"Astro"... I was hoping it would be the dog!
Even though the starfield does not look very realistic, I particularly like it.
I can give you not tips about halo's... I've not used them yet.

=====
From bsieker@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de:
Despite the haste in which this was modelled I really love the composition. It
was the right decisiion to have entered this round!

I've tryed doing suns myself and this is a highly comendable attempt. Georgeous
stars too.
