Description
**edit**Got rid of the lens-flare.
**end edit**
Inspired by the cover of Red Shift, a sci-fi/spec-fi book by Al Sarrantonio [probably spelled that wrong]. This is the 'small' version as the original is about 3x the size.
Comments/Critique accepted and appreciated.

Ah, wonderful, absolutely digging the nebulae detail man! I am always upto seeing an example of great nebulae, & this hands all one could wish for in one lovely presented image. 
Eh ill start with the starfield. Excellent variation, great use of both small & larger star formations, it really glows & gives the piece so much detail, i love the varied shapes & forms of all the stars, there are many kinds, Excellently done. The nebulae, like i said its a great example of a very good nebulae, reminds me of `hameed 's nebulae work alot, jammed with detail, light, darkness, colour, &.. Detail.
I love the small planet in the piece, it seems very soft & adds well. The larger planet works well with the border & has a nice atmosphere that lights with the nebulae which is good. However here is my only suggestion on this great piece: The larger planets texture is good, but it feels like it needs more varied aspects rather than one or two different textures, as that is how it feels. I want to see land formations, or if its moonlike then craters. The atmosphere crescent indicates that it has an atmosphere however, so i would expect to see land formations or something with life or hinting of what was once life. But man thats the only thing to suggest, i hope that helped, didnt mean to offend you in any way because this is an excellent piece of work really.
Keep up the excellent work.. I hope you make another scifi piece again sometime, i loved the results of this one.

I like how colorful it is and how planet is bit out of frame. That planet may have bit dull texture, but it doesn't ruin awesome pic.

I like the planet's intrusion of the frame, and the it being white is usually something I don't agree with, but I do with this piece completely.
It's very inspiring (: Look at that detail.. The stars are perfectly placed, and though I'm sure you've heard this plenty of times, you really did do a wonderful job on the colors.

I only have two things to say about this... Far OUT!
I really like the fact that the planet is sitting outside of the space on the white, it really generates alot of intrests and draws the eye there
I really like the design you have around the side too, it really adds to the picture. The colours are really nice

I like it alot, the stars are amazing and the planet out of the frame is great, just not keen on the shadow makes it look 2d. But still i think im going to

This is really good, Jay. I love the pure sci-fi feel of it. Check out my latest called Sunset..it's slightly sci-fi, too. So great, I'm faving it and there is nothing you can do about it.

OMG Thats amazing. Stuning work for the background. Just stuning really. Also i really like that planet
The only thing i will say is to take the top planet out, it doesnt work very well there.
Other than that superve work.

The space and nebula are really amazing! I mean that... it really kicks ass. What takes away from it is the lens flare and planets. If this were submitted w/o the planets or lens flare I'd fave it a million times

I like the atmosphere , nice starfield+light composition
but I think the lens flair could be 200mm or something or colorised.
anyway gj

Thank you.
I sat and stared at the lens flair for an hour wondering whether to keep it or get rid of it altogether. I don`t really like it, but it looks ... plain? without it. I will experiment with some different ones. Thanks for the suggestion.

you could colorize the lens using layer mask , and experiment a bit with the color , so that will fit with the whole starfield
