Also the foreground ship (also centred) is pointing straight out of the image (both ways). It takes the eye away from the centre of interest.

Not having seen the original, I have no idea what it is you are trying to achieve, so I'm afraid I can't try to help much more than that.

Bear in mind the following: the centre of interest should be somewhere near a point which is 1/3 of the way from an edge in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Sort-of like the corners of the centre square of a tic-tac-toe (or noughts and crosses) board..

Edited to try to make more sense...
