Photoshop costs money, J-G. Lol. Get Gimp. It's better than Paint dot net and it has more features. This isn't horrible for a first, but you have a lot to learn hun. ^_^ My first was far worse. Lol. The things you should focus on most now: Effects- Try using C4Ds *check the free resources section* Brushes, etc to get some blending on the render Lighting- You need a light source. Where is the light hitting the render? Use that knowledge to make a lifelike quality in the tag by giving it a scenery type feel with lighting. Depth- Use effect placement, darkening, lightening, blurring, and sharpening to make a feeling of depth in the tag. You need it to feel like something is really there. Size- Make is smaller! Keep working hun. You'll learn quick here.
