My Photoshop Designs and New Forums

i am pretty experienced in Photoshop, so I just wanted to show two of the ones I've made so far, along with my forum which has all of my work on it (link below). Any comments/suggestions on how I can improve either of my pictures (or the ones at the forum) or the forum itself?:

I have more Photoshop pictures I've made here at my forums [URL="http://www.boardzero.com/stormseven/"]http://www.boardzero.com/stormseven/[/URL], along with some drawings and other stuff I've made. The forum needs some members, so if you enjoy these pictures and the ones on the forum, singing up would be a great way to help out!

the textures look good, though the one on the mood looks a bit choppy, you didn't make them yourself did you? I think the first one is way to weird with the highly saturated green/blue and the mysterious glare up the left side. the sun also looks kinda weird, especially the glare it's putting out. the orange ring around the red planet doesn't look right, and the ships look okay except for their trails. you gotta be careful with lens flares too, you probably shouldn't have made it so distant from the sun and so locally compacted. as for the second one, the glow from behind doesn't really resemble a real solar eclipse, nor does the color of the glow, or the brightness of the moons surface. they are both good starts though, especially if you're trying to go for something more fantastic rather than realistic. if your going for realism, which I'm imagining you're not, you have to pay attention to small details, like ships in space don't often leave jetstreams, and planetary glow doesn't look as if it is behind a field of fog, etc.
