I do like this scene Jim. The falling star has become a plane imo :-)
For some types of weather, I think the clouds are just right.
The only thing that bothers me are the plants which seem huge in comparison 
with the scene. You can argue that this is a frog's eyes view of course, but 
still... In that case I would expect more details in the foreground soil. I 
think that is the reason why both do not seem to connect: the soil texture 
is virtually identical from foreground to background, diluting the sense of 
depth the plants are expected to provide.
