I *acquired* PS CS3, but I just discovered recently that because of that, saving sometimes gets messed up and crap. I'll have to ask my Graphic Design teacher if they have any spare copies...(He likes me xD)

Comet is -too- blurry, lacks the substance I would expect to see in a comet.

The other nebulae in the background also look too blurred, they should have a bit of sharpness somewhere so they don't look so, diluted?

Also I dunno why you have blue/pink/purple 'suns' in there?

A starters Attempt at Photoshop CS3

Well I got Photoshop CS3 recently and went straight into creating a Deep Space Picture. I started off with a Lens Flare with a Black Filled Background and went into Mega-Blur mode with it, the end result was the type of Sparkly Comet trail in the centre of the picture. The Black area around the centre was meant to be a poor attempt of a Nebula as the Comet emerged from the Darkness back into the Brightness of a Destinely Packed Star Cluster.

I coloured the Brushes a bit and just packed them in there and added a small Lens Flare at the top, then I Burned and Dodged parts of the picture and blurred slightly around the edges and I ended up with this;

(The size has messed the picture up a bit in terms of Resolution.)

I thought it was a pretty good attempt for a Starter to CS3, any suggestions of what I should work on?
