Far far away on a planet unknown to humans, stands an ancient staircase leading up to the heavens amidst a beautiful scene of a galaxy swallowing a planet whole!!
You would have done well to find pictures of galaxies instead of the brushes you used. I am a supporter of using brushes to enhance an image, however I do think that some of them tend to miss the mark. There are tons of awesome astral photography shots in creative commons on flickr if you look, and perhaps in the future that will be something you consider.

Yes author, this would work much better as a visually 'softer' image. The blownout highlights are too bright and not pleasant to look at. I also dont know if you have added some gausian blur to the image or manipulated it in someway to make it less crisp, but I would undo that.

I have added motion blur to create some movement effect for the snowfall.
The thing is that many of us can't look more than 3 secs at this without our eyes starting to hurt.
The brain tries to find a stable focus point in the view put since there is none is goes: "Error. Cannot Compute. Error" and it hurts .
With the eyes only half oppened the contrast is really awesome
Heehehe I looked at it with eyes half opened.
Honestly I really thing the overall blur to the image is just as disturbing as your color choices. I would have considered desaturating the bright blue/aqua to town it down and bring the red to a more deep hue instead of so bright.
I think you had a decent idea, but could stand to make a few changes.
