    Never really attempted a sig that was nothing but smudging. So I figured I would try... :D Was actually a lot of fun. I know it's not as awesome as Virtuoso's stuff r anything, but lemme know what to do to fix it and make it look better. :D

    Just decided not to add the text atm. Trying to work with it some more.

    v3 -

    Got home from work and wanted to try some more stuff. I'm not sure if the darkening of the right side helps or not. I felt like it gave more attention to the focal than the previous versions. Lemme know what ya think! :D

    CnC is much appreciated. Would really like some pointers for those that feel like giving them out. :)

    Colours are good, but in the right lower corner it looks too dark.

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    Yeah the text was eh. I couldn't find a place that I actually liked it, so I just smudged it a bit to see how it looked. :)

    A world far beyond your imagination...
    In a tag like that one text destroys everything. Play around with text more until you can incorporate it more into the background.

    Also do this to get more depth.

    New Layer
    Image - Apply Image
    Filter - Other - High Pass (Set it to 10 or 15)
    Set that layer to Soft Light and play around with the opacity.

    Also to get things going on better with the focal and the color combo between the pink and the blue play around with the burn and dodge tool to get a nice effect. Only if you want...

    Zain.
