Thanks to everyone, I really appreciate your nice comments. I did this sig for the main forum competition "five elements", I am posting it here to see what are your ideas to improve it: Even with all those objects but it looks empty to me, or flat, I am not sure:

It looks fine to me. The scenery in the window is a bit uniform., maybe some shadows or a bit of snowfall? A rabbit? Um, maybe the grass being green is not in keeping with the Christmassy winter theme? That could be causing a bit of imbalance?
I do love the window (very art deco & adorable) with the glass & the candle though. So heartwarming.

It's very beautiful. The flower adds such homeliness to this image and the firelight is so warm. The suggestions barbie gave are really great. I like her idea.

Nice one Sargon. I think the lighting is great. I also agree with Barbie though. Adding some snow outside would finish it off nicely. It would make a great Xmas sig.

H, he. Picture changing according to seasons. Great idea. In fact i did something like that for a Simpsons site. Four different pictures with the same basic design. The picture then changes according to season. Fun idea. ;D Beautiful picture. What impresses me the most is the candle. Looking so great.

Both are gorgeous, I especially like the winter one. Snow is so pretty when you're looking at it from inside.

Thank you everybody for the nice comments, and appreciate your help to improve it , for me it looks much better now as well. @ Leif, actually the candle took longer time than other objects all together, lol I was in a hurry and saved this project in low quality after I flattened it and exited PDN . Anyways, the textures of the planets are real textures, and I rendered them in Shape 3D plugin. Lake Mercury : For larger size Click

Oh, wow, Sargon! I'm speechless! You composed this image very well. Everything looks like, so real. The flare and the stars and the amazing perspective is astounding! The texture works very well here. Very seamless, too.

Sargon - what a magnificent space scene - it looks like the real thing and I'm really impressed, but not surprised, that you could make it look so real
