Beauty of Pyro Screenshot Contest

1 shot per moon or planet in Pyro - my submission to the 'Beauty of Pyro' screenshot contest

I discovered these unbelievable rock formations on Pyro 1, they remind me of the aliens in the movie "Edge of Tomorrow". I placed myself under it show how huge it is.
I'm not sure if these trees were once alive, but they do not look like they're doing too good. Monox has some really desolate landscapes, but they have such a beautiful light and contrast. It has a definitive "Life tried it here, but then..." vibe.
Bloom has something more majestic than the other planets. Is it the Vanilla skies? The lakes? The mountains? The constant sunsets? Maybe it is the amazing clouds, but regardless, it's pure poetry.
Pyro IV has so much diversity in its landscapes that it was hard to make a choice. In Many places, it almost looks like Bloom, or Monox, but these rock formations that I found around the giant crater on the north pole are unique to this planet.
I knew that Pyro V was going to be big, but not THAT big. I wanted a shot a little closer from the atmosphere to see if I could get some nice light down there, and it took me an hour of flying down to reach a spot that was good enough.
For a cold planet, Ignis sure do look like Australia. I tried many shots of this planet, but in the end, its beauty is in its simplicity.
To me, Vatra is where Darth Vader's would set his home, minus the lava. I tried many times to take a nice shot showcasing the mini boabs that are everywhere, but this rock formation looked the... most impressive... to me.
I usually tried to avoid known locations for my shots, but Prophet's Peak is just too jaw dropping to ignore. I even had a sunset version that I thought didn't look as good as you miss the scale of this peak.
Fairo was the hardest to shoot, both because I kept crashing on this moon, and also because the light is so... PINK. I ended up with this unconventional shot to show the land, the sea, and the sky of Fairo all at once, all bathed in pink.
The trees of Fuego really feel like actual fire, and I thought it was fitting for Pyro. I also really like the green tones, I wanted it to be part of the shot.
The yellow regions of Vuur were really tempting as they create some gorgeous landscapes, but to me the true identity of Vuur is the black sun when it is low. Paired with the gorgeous haze and the beaten landscape, Vuur is both beautiful and scary.
Terminus was my first destination, and my last one as well, as I wasn't happy with my original shot. The rock formation on Terminus are absolutely mind blowing, and with the planet's ring in the background, you can't mistake it. This is Terminus.

I loved doing this! Pyro is absolutely gorgeous, and without this contest, I wouldn't have been able to appreciate its beauty. You guys did an Unbelievable job, and I can't wait to see how it evolves. This made me want to do the same in Stanton, as I probably never took enough time to appreciate the beauty of the original system. Also, I would love to do the same with space stations, on both Stanton and Pyro.

Anyway, thanks for this, enjoy the photos!

Note: No editing beside croping and adding the required overlays on each photo. Made in Figma.
