    You used to nice things, and you did pretty good. My only complaint is the smudging? effect around her lower body, it doesn't flow. Normally I'd say the negative space is wrong, but this looks fine. If not underdone.

    I still think it's kind of sloppy, but that's not to say it's bad.

    Well, I'm not that great with smudging either, but you need to smudge in a manner that flows with the overall tag. It looks like you stamped the plus signs and then smudged them.

    One thing that works is, duplicating the stock layer and smudging it to whatever you want. Or just simply paint over a new layer, in the area where you want the effect and then smudge and blend.

    Experimenting is essential.

    Do you use Gimp or Photoshop? I can give you smudging tips in either. :]

    I like the neg. space on the left, like Chev said, and normally I hate this color scheme but it looks nice here. I don't really like the plus signs, though; they're very geometric and too many of them makes them look out of place. The light is quite nice, though.
