heres version 2

Text is kind of hard to read... Nicely blended though... looks nice.. I don't like the border.

Thanks for the tips I'll mess around with it a little bit more.

It seems a little over-sharpened to me, colors are very nice, a lot better than I expected from someone who is new to GFX. Good job, KIU.

Wow thanks I'll lower the sharpen a little bit too.

Version 2 looks better, but a bit too bright. I think it would also look better without the text.
