I'm not that good with blends, so please be gentle _smile.gif
I saw an image of Christina Aguilera and was inspired, so this is what I did. What do you think?

It's nice, I just don't like the blue strip covering on her face. It looks like you set it on a bad blending mode.

Maybe clean up the textures a bit. I'm not too fond of the font either but it's just me.

I agree, with the blue strip and the font doesn't seem to fit.

Also, I think that you should try using more than the same picture 4 different times...

I'm assuming you're a beginner yes? It's not bad at all.

But if I were to critique, I'd say:

The text isn't working, and the right image is too while compared to the rest of the images. I'd also like to see more contrast in the background, and a smoother transition between her hair and the background. The arrangement is off since the right is more busy than the left.

As for the last comment, I'd work on the arrangement of the images and playing around with image size more.

yeah like everyone else i agree with that. For someone who's not to good i thought this was really good. & you're right about the font. maybe something not so... scripty.

Yeah, I seriously forgot to mention that... it is REALLY good, for a beginner...

Everyone keeps mentioning the font, but hasn't really suggested anything... personally, I'd go for a more grungy or vintage-looking font
