I actually think that in the manip, the picture quality is worse than what you started with. Don't do so much levels/curves work, it realyl destroys it. The text also needs significant work on all of them, I'd say the first one is the best, just because it blends the nicests, the other ones just don't work. The gold just doesn't cut it on the last one. Keep it going, just don't do so much post-work on the render, focus on one part of it, and make it perfect.

hmmmm i dont see how the quality is worse on the manip :/ on the 2nd one i aimed for a grainy look... and take note that this is my 2nd attempt at making wallpapers, and yes the text does need work but im not used to putting text in a wallpaper lol im used to it being pretty simple to put it in a sig, and i thought the gold gun looked really good i was really happy with the outcome. :'( but oh well, what can i say..

hers another lil manip anyway *sniff*

the gun was fine, it was the text that was bad, sorry for not explaining that clearly. The 2nd one looks good except for that random ass umbrella and the busta text. otherwise it's nice...

your new one, too much levels again, it's too contrasty, tone it down. and when you do a curves layer, do it in a wavy line.

i like that last one nj

The quality of the manips isn't good enough (yet), but that's something you can work on. What I like about your work is your creativity... Not just blurring & contrasting something and call it a day. Good job. Keep working on it.

A little advice tho, try to make it softer-looking and fix the lighting, the focus, everything

I like it, I think you should fix the lighting at top-left

agreed (the umbrella part especially :P )...
i also don't like the gold in the last one (of the first 3) either.
good starts though
