lol it looks like mario upper cutted a water balloon

could've just as easily said nothing... thank you for that wonderful C&C
not even a "good" or "crap, scrap it."

sry so far it does look very good for a unfinished work

I think that the effects are too blurred right now, they don't have much substance.
Try and possibly use some blur/smudge tooling on the background and add in a subtle colour just to give it an ounce of depth.
Watch that text, it's almost unreadable, just looks like a blob to me.

Much better, but I didn't even notice that text existed until I strained my eyes.

text on this one is hard for me cause i dont want it to be a distraction, so its only there for those who see it.. not to be a focal of any kind
thanks for the C&C :D

I get your point, but when you have text that invisible it's almost better to have none at all.

I think the text is much better now, it's easier to see, and much smoother.
The effects are still not hitting the right note with me, try and change some of the colours to some deep orange and yellows.
