    Been awhile since I made anything. Learned a few things and borrowed a few techniques from some people. Tried to keep it a little simpler than usual. CnC please.

    It seems like the bird is a bit too light. Your text also distracts me from the bird, but only because it is so difficult to read, but clearly there.

    Try using a drop shadow that more closely follows your backdrop (Sythe.org, in this case) I always use a 90 degree drop, because it does not assume the light falls from one side or the other. Nearly any website is that way.

    Smudge colors resemble each other too clearly, the text is very distracting, clipping masks aren't so good anymore 0.o ...

    Yay, bbri.

    You're so good at blending, I love it. I don't really know what to tell you that hasn't already been said. I mainly learn from you guys at this point anyways.

    Keep it up.

    The isn't really a focal point or mayor effects my eyes keep straying away, also the line under the text isn't neccesary and doesn't look to good.

    I like how the bird is the focal point of the picutre but leads on into the text.

    Which text is particulary distracting Vision? The subtext, or the "if i could fly" text?

    The subtext is not so much meant to be read really. Supposed to be more of an effect and the "if i could fly" text is supposed to pull your eye to the tip of the wing and the bluish color that the bird is supposed to be diving towards.

    To Haunted, yeah the line is stupid hehe. Also, I understand the missing focal, I see it now. Thanks everyone.
