Too many stars. Otherwise it's nice.

thx :)

the stars look like moss and fungi, looks more like a forest scene.


i dont think there is any green in space :)

It'd be better if the stars weren''t green, IMO. Maybe some more variation in the stars, too.

Try more variation in the star sizes..
Try Duplicating the star layers.. Gaussian Blur + linear dodge... That should give them a better glow..

Yea, the star sizes should be varied. I don't mind the green, the light could be coming from a green Star (like our sun). THe planet shading is nice. Great job on that. Nice planet too lol

thx for replies, and Titanic, i believe in green(life) in space :)

How to make different sizes of stars??

well how did you make the stars in the first place? Levels work.

Duplicate your star layer.... Reduce the brighness and increase the contrast to bring out the brighter stars.. Scale them to about 200% of the original and invert them... then use 230,1.0,250 settings with levels.. invert them back and resize them... you should see an echo effect caused by the large and small stars..flip the large star layers vertically.. done..
