Great photomanipulation! I like the overall feel of the picture. It's really cool. I think you mgiht want to tone down the blue colors on the planet--they stick out and take away from the beauty of the manip. I also think the texture should be layed over everything, not just the background, to tie it together. If you do that, though, you may want to lower the opacity and saturation to make it look more natural. Good luck with future photomanipulations--I can see you put a lot of effort into this, and it shows.

First: Marry Xmas!
Thank you very much for the Secret Santa participation, making my Xmas moar brighter (even if it is dark like Hell this year, huh)
I am a pretty quiet person on dA, I don't really comment stuff, most time I am also just... speechless.
This years Christmas is just the worst I've ever had, I barely got anything (no it is not a problem, i am not mad about stuff...), my head is a chaos at the moment, but i guess i can say few words to you.
I like the conception, how the picture is built. It is really nice, can has a bright future at photoshopping/photomanipulating/art etc. (i dunno when did you start it, but with time it will get better).
PC and AM wrote the comment has to be optimistic etc... But it is not easy for me, I am down emotionally, i see the bad in everything, i could say some words, what could help you improve your works.
Interested?

Hm, okay.
I am as constructive as I can be, so...
Well.
1 - maybe less difference clouds, less opacity, etc - so it won't be so mottled.
2 - the planet. it is pretty, but those strokes have too strong color, and it is not really folding with the other parts of the picture.
3 - the text "fly" was a great idea. keep it up, it's awesome! (but maybe a blending mode change if you will experiment with it)?
4 - the whole exposure - the colors don't fit. i recommend hue/saturation/color balance settings, it's quite awsome. you can also give it more brightness/contrast, manage with the levels, etc.
I think you should experiment with the many effects of PS (i guess you are using PS but dunno), or whatever program u r using, combining stuff, etc, you are really good at getting stuff together, but you should work on it a little more, so it will be MOAR better.
I hope i was not so strict...
Your art seems to be hopeful.

Oh, no! All very helpful critiques. Yes, I am using PS, and I will try some of your suggestions on my next manip - I played with the hue/saturation stuff, but not a lot.

I am glad you see it useful!
I wish you a happy new year.

Neat! I love the how you incorporated the word 'fly' into the actual picture.
