Alterations to previous images.

This image I added a photoshop artistic filter on the image which had been flattened so that it effects all of the layers, the filter makes its look like brush strokes however I modified it so it would make it feature heavy contrast in certain areas and defining lines in certain areas of prominence such as the glare from the sun which draws attention and it has radial lines around.

Personally I think it helps it all blend together also as the previous version had a sort of desaturating layer on top which was negated when the filter was applied.

Here is another image which was drastically changed firstly part of the building was cut off only because the tree didn't go well with the new darker background as it had pixelated white spots which didn't show up with the previous light background as they blended.

The reason why I changed the background is because I felt it was too flat and didn't look all that impressive and slightly unrealistic as it just looks plain.

So I used this image below as the background however it was not big enough as I wanted the focal point of the nebular which spirals inwards to be around the moon to add a mystical elemental look to it, so to make it look bigger and still fit around the moon I painted and copied and pasted sections to create a bigger background and made sure they blended almost perfectly.
