    I realized it was a bat in a tree when I read it other then the tree it looks nice lol. All it is usen the paint brush? The skyline Is filters FTW YAY dont start filter whoren you may end up like me and use filter in almost every sig you make. Sometimes it turns out good and sometimes it dont. Get better, my first ones were some simple brushes and a some filter that made it shine and look cool ^.^

    Honestly, I see a lot of potential out of this, being your second work. You've already begun to use light to emphasize your focus, which is good. You've used a color from your subject in your text, which was an accent color - which I liked. Yes, you used filters, but this is not so bad, as you are just learning the program. Try to avoid over-use of the filters, though, because that usually takes away from the subject, like it did here. In a signature like this, you are titling the signature as '2009 Nissan Skyline,' however, with these filters applied in the way that they are, you've actually distorted what you were meant to be showcasing. Where you've cut the car was in the wrong place, as well. You should have cut the car just before the very top of the roof, then possibly gave it a focal blur, where the front of the car is blurry, but the back is in focus, so that people can note the tail end, just as you wanted them to.

    ^ what he said lol

    [edit] 1st one sucks, 2nd one ownz =]
    2nd one is decent but you need to actually make the subject stand out, not distort it, the 1st one DOES look like a bat in a tree, but WTF? lol, you pwned my 1st attempts at ps tho... it took me ages to get to where you are now =]

    Nice but the text on the second one really needs work, The first one would look good if you added a background moon etc.

    For a first try, Very nice you beat me.

    The first one: Sharpen it, and make it shorter, length wise. Cut off some of that tree, and add a snappy quote or something. It is actually rather good, much better than most firsts I see.

    The second one: It's just a blurred car. :L But you really need to work on text blending/placement. Where it is now, it sort of, takes away from the image of the car. Extend it to the right, and add some tech brushes. MAybe turn it vertical? It'd look pretty nice.
