Microcosmos
Done in blender, and with a lot of work with nodes. The DoF is there to make it look smaller, as with huge planets you tend not to have any defocus at that scale. Also the skin-like materials make it look more biological. Or maybe they don't. you decide. note that there is a faint shadow layer as the light passes through the atmosphere of the large planet.

a very nice example of a space-abstract piece, my only critique is that the DoF sucks (imo)
it looks way too abrupt to be realistic, and in my opinion, DoF can make or break a piece. However, with your style, DoF isn't that important, because your eye is drawn to the big planet, which could be good or bad.
also, nice SSS

What do you mean by abrupt? It's supposed to be micro, not macro, so the dof is supposed to emphasize that. If you mean the contrast between blur and sharpness, well, that's really what you'd get with dof, since what's close is sharp.
