Image description
The End of the Universe if not by heat death must be spectacular. A tourist site, even!
Description of how this image was created
I was thinking about “The restaurant at the end of time” when re-working a model of the London Eye when I saw that there was six days to enter. So I built a scene around the London Eye.
I started the model when I was working in the Shell building in London. I could find very few measurements for the Eye but I could see it from my window but had to stop because Bishop3D did not support light groups, then. I had to download Teragen to get the floating Island. It is supposed to be a bit of the Earth that broke off or a part of Earth transported to the far future.
Out of interest the render time went from 34m to 10s when I could use light groups/

The moon is well done, as is the ride, but the heightfield-island thingy is rather weak, and the background is just sort of weird and wrong somehow (nebula sphereical image_map?),

Again, to me, this is another artistic image that is poster-friendly. To non-rendering people, if you saw this in a high street shop, you would think "What's this all about?" (Without a description that is). Good job on the eye. I particularly like the contrast between the grey of the moon and the colourful surroundings.

I like this concept, especially the puzzling question: why will the Moon survive pristine, while Earth is not? Oh well... the answer might be too obvious... :-)
Excellent use of the London Eye.
One critical comment concerns the apparent discrepancy between the Moon's and Earth's textures. The latter one should be crisper I believe.
