Zero, is this your first lp? I like that you made the effort to play around with your layers and use some of the adjustments that many artist never tend to even try. Thats a totally good step and shows that you wanna learn.

On the other hand, I really don't see any connection to the image and it's effects. The fractal you used is very obvious and doesn't seem to server a purpose. The girl's colours and contrast layers are either too weak or too strong and don't really go with the bg or the fractal you have supplied.

I would suggest taking out the fractal and playing more with other stocks such as real fire and or more smoke, bringing back more of her colour and playing around with showing that she is really there by working with new colours over her.

I hope I have given you a little help to get you going and hope you continue to work with those adjustments, becuase those adjustemnts make for some pretty perfect manip art in the end once used properly ^^

Actually not my first lp, I have made more but they can be found at my dA. And yeah I see what you mean, i'll try and make a 2nd version.

I think slave hit the nail on the head, the lighting needs work, and the c4d/fractal is out of place.

I like the preview much better due to the fact it has better composition. The effects you added are cool but the placement of them is bad. This overall needs more work to it, it seems unfinished. Kiu!
