cool sig, nice flow and calm effects
but the colours are a bit montone, try adding some lightning spots and gradients
keep it up

Thanks flatty

Off topic: My CS4 is glitched my brushes only show for 25% ( the upper left part ) or sometimes they don't show at all and i have 2 guess what it is, does anybody know how to fix this?

I'd just tweak the lighting and contrast a little, it will make the colours stand out a little better. It looks good it just needs a little bit more to help colours stand out.

I've kinda had a bash at trying it, not easy cos I'm changing a jpeg not a PSD lol. Anyway to boost colours you can do any of the following or a combination of both.

Make a new layer, image, apply image. (best to this for everything)

1st off for the colour change in my version I clicked Image, Adjustments, Auto Colour. This feature can give you some nice colours so it's always worth a try. On the blue areas on the left and right I used the burn and dodge tools to boost the colours. Just play around the with settings (Highlights, Midtones and Shadows) As for the exposure setting you should decrease it to around 50 %

Anyway just have fun with photoshop, play about with things and see how you get on

v2 is ok but sharpen it a bit

Agree with a lot of the things said here.
Sharpen it a bit, the render, and improve the colours more, bring out that blue, make it brighter.
Nice job, it's got a great flow and it is calm.
