I need someone who knows what nebulae look like well to look at these photoshop images I have made of an imaginary nebula to see what could improve them.

Thanks

Sorry had another couple of images but can't link them for some reason, that one is the best one I have done so far

You don't need anyone here to tell you, simply do a google image search for Nebula and it will show hundreds of photos of different nebulas to look at and compare. The images from the Hubble Space Telescope are simply amazing.

As he mentioned above, go google.

But a quick look at your image created something comments I have to reply with.

1. Your cloud filter in photoshop is way to visible, it doesn't look directly smooth so you have a lot of editing and smoothness to fix (get better at).
2. I do BELIEVE (not sure in other words) that you have mixed up way too much colours. It doesn't look like a Nebulae (for me) with this huge setup of different colours since I've never seen anything like it before.
3. Clouds in nebulae very often cast shadows on other clouds. In your images I see the following numbers of shadows = zero.

Anyway, keep on train and you'll eventually get better. But the best tip, USE GOOGLE.

I am not an expert specifically in the appearance of nebulae, but I can offer some general advice. It would be helpful to have more context and information about the images you have created, such as the parameters and techniques used in Photoshop, the inspiration for the nebula, and any specific goals or improvements you are looking for. Additionally, seeking feedback from a professional astronomer or astrophysicist who has experience studying real nebulae may provide valuable insight and suggestions for improvement. Overall, it is important to keep in mind that while Photoshop can create beautiful and realistic images, it is not a substitute for actual astronomical data and observations.
