Bonjour from the Critique Club!

Composition is excellent. The minimalism works well in this picture. The gradient in the sky is quite nice, and could perhaps even be enhanced a touch more. The simplicity works well with the oddness of the shapes.

I like your title, but I always thought amoebas were flat, aquatic, unicellular organisms. This makes the interpretation a little difficult for me, even if they are suppose to be from outer space...

I fell like the sand, or whatever the terrain is could have been lightned a bit to help contrast against the sky. On the bottom right, where the sun is, the colour there is quite nice and it would have been nice to have seen more of the earthy colours.

I'm also not a fan of the shadow on the second 'amoeba.'

In general, I like the picture. It's a strong composition of the minimalist type, which gives it an extra-terrestrial feel.

Cheers

Love the colors, and the framing really gives a sense of space being so much larger then earth.

I like the vastness and use of negative space (no pun intended) in your photo. Good lighting too. Nicely done.

Don't see the amoeba, and the blue is a little too high. I had to scroll a bit to see the whole thing. Not liking the crop. BUT the sky is pretty!

great picture - love the blue and the use of space -
but I really don't see this as a 'space amoeba'

Well composed with a good use of negative space.
