I fail so hard at tags.

Yes, hansen. I used your tut: http://i.minus.com/iZLRU.png

As you can see, I failed.

 

Your smudging is a little bland, you should spice it up with some color. The focal is oversharpened, and some of the smudge has kind of went into it. The lighting should be lowered a little bit because it is too bright/strong. I think the colors need a lot of work too to add some more flair as well as some light and shadows to give it depth and some flow.

 

Yeah, flow is a challenge for me. Thanks a lot though.
