That's actually really cool! The only thing that I think you could improve upon is if you made the image simpler by removing the little River, or maybe fading her out and moving her so the image is more balanced (but, as I have almost no idea how to use Photoshop, I wouldn't know how to do the second, so feel free to ignore it).

Just out of curiosity - what is that image in the very back, the one with the lines and numbers?

thx for the reply and the tip

also my friend send me a bunch of background pics, and that was one of them, it a wallpaper for sony PSP...lol

Wow, I love the layering! The only thing I would say is the top sword looks a little wobbly, and I have no idea how to fix that. Other than that, really cool.

I like it heaps, but I think that maybe removing the litte River would look more refined... or something.

I'd have to agree, like it more without the little River up front. Otherwise, gorgeous!

well the little River picture, that picture I like the original. I dunno maybe it would be okay without it, but to keep it in i suggest reducing the fill % and maybe not make it small... it's kinda blurry, but I like it.

I really like the basis of this composition: River + stuff to the left. Very artistic. You definitely have the touch. :)

The blending for "River with machette" is difficult, of course, what with the white rim and all. Adding a layer mask, and doing alpha-channel blending, using the brush-tool, is the way to go about. But I would find it a challenge, too, against a relative dark background. Setting that layer to 50%, or some such, might help too. Or remove it altogether (as a theme, both images clash a bit anyway). In my estimation, once I've found a theme, even if only consisting of one or two images, it usually suffices. Adding extra stuff tends to destract, and detract even. Too much foofaraw, as Zoe would say. :)

Hmm, I almost sound negative. I hope you understand I am not; and I look forward to your next work. :)

Gotta zero skill with PhotoShop, so this is mindblowingly great to me;)
