Hey nice image Stuart. Your images have really gone to a new level.

I agree with Jase. The reds seem to have too much yellow in them. Apart from Jase's suggestion you could also try using selective colour and fiddle with red and the various sliders to make the reds a more red and less yellow/red.

Similarly you could select the stars using the colour range tool and then adjust the blues where some stars look almost teal in colour. You could move the blues to a less gree/blue using selective colour again or curves for blue and green.

The only other comment is the shape of the framing - its cropped and I see you probably wanted to keep some image real estate there but the overall effect at least to me is it attracts attention to an odd shaped size. Perhaps a taste thing, but I personally like a more fibonacci ratio'd (you know a .618 sides/length ratio approx.) rectangle or a square.

Greg.
