Another Planet's Imagination

My entry for the Sun & Moon Contest (in the Digital Art category).
I wouldn't say this is anything amazing, but it's new for me.
+ The person who originally took the sunset photo wanted me to make a manipulation of it
Information for the contest (all might not be needed):
Program used: Paint.Net
Date completed: 27/08/2012
Stocks:
Nebula stock used (thoroughly manipulated though).
Sunrise by ~madaboutdogs. Told you I'd do something with it
The planets are my own creation, as well as the comets.
How does this relate to the Sun & Moon contest then?
Well, the sun is the obvious part here. The stock is a sunset.
The moon on the other hand may be a little more tricky to explain.
The large planet you see is actually a planet. It's far too big to be taken as a moon if we were on Earth; but (you know where this is going) this doesn't exactly look like Earth.
For another, more simple reason, there are 2 more tiny moons in the image. One above the large planet, and another silhouetted against the sun.
Hope this was enough information to enter!

nice - especially the reflection!
Haha thanks It doesn't seem right to me personally

Oh, it's amazing! I love it!
Thank you 
You're welcome
The sky is really nice! I love the contrast. The reflections of the moons seem a little weird, but its not bad.
They seem to be a real bother with this xD I did mess around with positions but could seem to get them right. Any ideas how I could alter them? It would have to be a very slight alter, since I don't exactly name my layer...and with 40+ including many duplicates, it takes me ages to go through them
Yeah, thats the one thing i really dont like about PDN, you cant create folders for the layers.
I dont really have any suggestions, except maybe do some searching for some examples ([link]). The only thing that I can really come up with is to run dents on the reflections a bit more. Sorry, but I havent done anything like this before, so I dont know how to help ya.

Hmm I'll leave this one how it is, and remember these for the future

This is really cool. Since the sun is close to the horizon and the planet's a little higher, the planet's reflection would probably be closer to us (the viewers). Nonetheless, a beautiful piece!
I figured, since it was for a competition, to fix it. Thanks for pointing it out (even thought I knew, it still helps) and thanks for your nice message I am querying to myself whether I should post it on the forum atm I've posted a little too much on there recently.
