COOL!! 
Can't think of anything that wouldn't make it 'busy'. IMO it stands as-is.
May I suggest you enter it in the contest here;

I agree with Terry, good work. As a professional artist for more than 30 years, I would like to give you some advice about the Path Tool. This is like father to son, not a criticism. I can see a problem you are having with the Path Tool, NOT YOUR WORK.
Notice the white fringe in several areas that rings the blue. This is usually caused by anti-aliasing turned on during creation of an element or in some cases extraction (object or while painting). I know everyone wants to get rid of the jaggies, but it is better to leave anti-aliasing off to decrease the fringe deterioration.
You can smooth edges by selecting the area with the Magic Wand Tool and then applying a Gaussian Blur to knock down some of the jagged edges. Setting the Tool to the right tolerance takes a little practice and using numerical increments of 2 or 3 with the Blur tool works better than trying to blur in one step.
For right now, blow up the View to 1200 to 1600 percent and use the Clone Tool to clone out the white pixels, one pixel at a time. Yes, I know this is time consuming but will give you a far better finished look.
Nice work, my favorite color of Blue.
As far as something missing. This is for future reference, don’t change anything now.
You might consider trying to make a portion of the work a center of interest. This is usually done with color, temperature, and sharp focus. Look up the Golden Angle, which states always try to put the center of interest at least 1/3 horizontally and vertically from one of the four corners of your composition. Use the S Curve to lead the viewer’s eye to the center of interest from where you want the viewer to begin looking.
Vary your color. The center of interest should be the most prominent aspect of the composition and all of the rest of the composition should slowly fade out by color and interest. Keep the viewers eye in the canvas, use objects that point inward not out of the canvas. And lastely, red is usually the dominant color, just a touch, introduced into the center of interest. This color is the most noticed color by the human eye and catches the viewer’s interest quickly.
