Well one hey Echo! been long!
Well one I do like the color seam and it's a great mixture. I looks like more warm than cold scheme.
I do see some iffys that I would have like some of the shinning from the star(or if that's a sun) that's just me thow. Other than that it's good like really good.
But I bet others can give yo a better critique...>^_^ I know there are others that can call me a hard ass on this. I guess I should re-try again but for now this is what I got for ya.

Nice job over all! I feel that the "space clouds" have too intense a red in them, as mentioned above, the stars look more like speckles than stars, not enough size differentiation, I think. The composition is nice and balanced. Maybe a few more rays coming out of the light spot? Welcome back, I know how hard it is to get back into art when you have been out for a while. But, I have found that once you find your feet again, that you will be even better than before. Good luck!

Thanks! This is the kind of feedback i was looking for. And i'm quite looking forward to getting back into the swing of this again.

Hey! You're back! 
Is this technique something new you're trying? I notice it looks a bit different from your previous works.
One thing, if I may - the stars in the background look a bit too dense... just a wee bit. Maybe if you filter them out a bit and add a few bigger stars then it should do the trick

Not a new technique. Just trying to get back to where I was before I left. There's a LOT I've forgotten. Transparancy layers, Blending modes, Brush strokes, you name it, it's all gone from my memory. Luckily i still had the PSD files form some of my old stuff like "Classtime blues" and "Seahorse nebula" lying around so i had some level of a starting point. But still, I went through nearly a dozen pieces before I was comfortable with just one.
And I agree with you on the stars. Too many, too small. Thanks! I thought it was just me! And I know exactly what I did wrong with them as well. The next one will be better!

Ah... know what you mean. Like when you've done something perfect and later realize you have no idea how you did it, right?
Haha, glad I could help - I found that that tends to happen if one tries to make the bigger space pieces, the stars just go crazy! Then when you try and make them bigger they tend to go fluffy :/
Good luck!
