well thats really nice for someone who just made his first tag...
your flow is a bit nice....just add effects to give emphasis on depth and lighting....
you also need to improve your text....make your sig more HQ next time and make your
render blend to its bg...btw GJ man KIU

wat do u meen by effects mate any examples?? an more HQ?? hahah sorry mate not to flash on it yet..

[edwinpabito]

effects like putting some c4ds and setting it to lighthen or linear dodge...and making it more high quality

[Jay X]

effects, eg. c4d's fractals splatter brushes..
those sort of things have some in the foreground to liven it up a bit.
more HQ means more high quality.
When i first started i hated trying to go back into a psd and fix it.
Just start a new one, read LOTS of tutorials.
find techniques you like doing..
and do em
Great first sig man.

Effects are stuff like c4d's, lightning effects, bubble's, or smudge effects.
And HQ means high quality. it looks a bit LQ (low quality)
U might wanna put some more ffects in indeed.
and to make the quality better do:
lmake new layer do
layer>aply image
than do
filter>blur>gausian blur (around 1,6 pixels) set this layer to soflight 23% opacity
now make a new layer and aply image again.
than do:
filer>sharpen>sharpen around 70 %, and erase what u dont like.
keep working on it m8, its realy nice for your 1st. wish i could make that as my 1st tag :P
kiu man

everything they said...a nice trick for better quality is to try saving all your work as a .png file (24). I find the quality is superior to jpeg.
