I dislike the very obvious light source n' colors, however the flow aswell as the blending is pretty good. I agree with Fun you should just use the burn/dodge tool so it gives a more natural feeling to it, y'know?

Also, try making a b/w gradient map set it on luminosity n' reduce opacity to your liking, very easy way to give depth.

--edit--

What do you mean it didn't make a difference? O.o Try burning the sides on midtones or highlights then use the dodge tool for the focal.

ok, thx for the help guys, i edited my above post with some different verison, CnC plz

v4 is my fav, great work.

i would take the txt out of the sig, and your set, the txt distracts me from the flow of your effects, but overall a pretty nice job, i like v4 best.
