    Again that sharpness :/
    Try some thing like this:duplicate layer->gaussian blur,play with opacity.
    In this world, is man ever able to possess anything more solid than a dream?

    hey not bad mate!

    Anyway here's some tips.
    Cool down the sharpness a bit. What I do is get my sharpened layer and erase the background. Then just mess with the opacity of the layer so it just changes the sharpness for the render. See what looks nice.

    This is also monotone. I see that you added a photofilter here. Try not to go overboard. Make subtle changes to the colour not make it all the same.

    The depth here is pretty good IMO! Just you may have overblurred a tad.

    The last thing is your lighting. I love it all except for the soft brushing down the bottom. I like how you darkened the sides but that soft brushing just ruins it imo. Try not to use soft brushing in excess for your lighting!

    Kiu mate and hope my tips have helped!

    Yep I'd say it's your best also , I don't really mind the sharpness to much on this one apart from on the C4D behind the focal, but what really bothers me is the lighting. If your gonna use the soft brush method, make sure you lower the opacity and maybe use a smaller brush, it's just to visible and causes a distraction. Also, maybe try and mix the colors up a little bit
    Overall I think it's nice piece, keep it up man!
