First sig - critique please

I basically practiced and played around with basic stuff like the smudge tool, layers, lens flare, etc. Nothing too crazy just wanna know if i can get some pointers on the basics before i move on to other things.

 

That ain't bad to be honest. Advice:

1) Download brushes, c4ds, stocks, different fonts etc.
2) Use a smaller size. Like around 380x120 sort of ish.
3) Look at tutorials. Delta-Visons have great tutorials. Start with beginner tuts then get more advance.

Nothing more I can think of. Work on those and follow other people tips and advices.
