Congrats..!

 Agreed. This was a much larger piece for me, and issues were going to arise due to my own inexperience (specifically banding), and I'm still learning how to make things look right. I don't usually work with backgrounds as well, especially with iso works, so it was more or less experimental and leaving it out would make it feel unfinished imo. 

This is very nice! Although the clouds look good, they don't match the pyramid because it is in a different perspective. Also, be careful with banding.
