Nice job! I'd like to break this down into the background, foreground, and subject.
For the background, the color is very interesting, though the texture seems to be a bit distracting, sending the eyes drifting all over the piece. I would tone down the texture a little bit.
Speaking of texture, you might want to focus on the texture on the planets a little. `alyn has a great tutorial on planet textures that I believe you can work in GIMP. Also, look at the lighting of the planets, which can make for a really interesting spacescape.
Nice work, keep experimenting! You get better and better as you go

I agree about that background, the texture on it was 'too heavy' so it takes away from the focus which is actually the large near center planet...
Texturing the planets is a bit difficult in the Gimp, there are soooo many setting to play with to make it look good, I've been experimenting in order to create astroids... but not getting the results I'm looking for....but I will eventually... I am persistant that way...
Thanx for the GREAT comment...these help me to focus on what I need to do on the next deviation, and show me what to leave alone...
