Looking for a bit of constructive criticism on a couple pieces from earlier in the year.

There seems to be some unintentional artifacts on these.  Notice around the sun, the bushes, and the side of the shuttle.  These artifacts make the piece feel messy.

I see what you mean.  They were actually intentional, and intended to add a sort of...glow...to the objects in question.  Any suggestions to make that come across in the piece, maybe if the artifacts were a bit brighter?

Use only one, maybe two, colors for the glow effect so the viewer knows that the palette is still controlled and the effect is intentional. I would say take one of the lightest tints that's already there and use that.
