This is yet another amazing work from the great renderer, overseer. I am aware of this word being overused, but I can say without any hestitation that it is an epic work. The scene has a lot of elements in it but actually it is not distracting. The explosion in the center of the picture breaks away from the rest of the picture and helps the viewer to realise that there is something serious going on with all the ships and energy bolts flying around. What I love the most about the composition is the simplicity of the colors and shapes. With only one light source and a few basic elements, it makes for a very clear picture. If there is one thing I do not quite like about the render is the contrast which tends to bring it all down to darker colors. My main issue is that the dark areas on the ships are completely black and the most bright elements, the engines and explosion, aren't quite as bright as I would like them to be. However, even with that small nitpick, the whole picture is glorious and looks really amazing.
