Put a few techniques together and this resulted. I could probably do more with this, but right now it's 4:16, and I just want to go to be now xD. CnC
Looks great, but the colors look a little too washed out... There's also excess amounts of ripples in your sig that is too sharp, making your picture a little awkward.
I love what you've done with the effects. There's just a few problems. One, the stock is way over in the left. XD; The effects almost seem to "push" the stock there. Two, there's a dupe on the right. You might've done that to hide some neg space that was previously there... which in that case, is fine. And finally, is there anyway to centralize the stock in any way?
