Lol, you didn't know about the clouds? ;) The clouds are probably the only feature PS has that I'd pay for. :D

I suppose that's happening inside a nebula. Where else do you have lightning like that.

Anyway, it could use more fog. It looks like a nebula background like this, not like the entire thing is inside a nebula.

*nods* Put an additional layer on top of everything, same colors as the regular nebula, make it somewhat transparent.  The linthing's good (I see you stumbled upon that technique) but it just doesn't seem to..blend with the scene...I have the same problem myself.
