Not bad mate, did u place a clipping mask C4D to create the swirl effects? I think you could improve this a hell of a lot if u graded the background out into shadow on the edges, it would give it some depth and accentuate the (sweet) focal.
Hmm yeah I like that idea might look into it Thanks for the tip. And yeah, the "swirling" lines were made with pen tool then covered with an increased clipping mask. Though it was just a clipping mask of what was already there, not an additional c4d (but I did use quite a few C4D's in the background )
hmm using C4ds as clipping masks...interesting, thats not something thats ever occurred to me...i wonder what the outcome would be like... sorry random thought from your comment :S
