Yup.  That works.  I agree that you should concentrate your efforts on 
the main objects in the picture, leave the planet texture as it is for now.

Speaking of the main objects,
- The cylindrical containers need some lettering.  Space Agencies love 
to show off their colors!
- The Brown Spherie-Thingies(tm) don't appear to be attached to anything.
- Although I suspect it's only a problem with the camera angle, but the 
wings on the bottom spaceship don't look like they're the same size.  If 
that was intended, just ignore me.
- And last but not least, the lighting seems a bit wrong.  The spaceship 
s seem to be lit from both sides, and by looking at the planet, it's not 
obvious where its main star is.

You said you've had enough of this project, so put it aside for now, use 
the lessons you learned and start working on something else.  Maybe in a 
few months, you'll come back to it and start fixing things on it again. 
  Most of us do.

And lastly, don't despair if people act all snotty and rip your images 
apart.  That's our job.  I mean, look at the flak Jaime is getting for 
his apples photograph, erm, I mean, scene.
