Ok, well first off, I took this photo, and I tried to make it look professional and stuff. I think the full size looks a whole lot better than the thumb, but I feel it's not really finished, so I'm looking for some critique and ideas. I think it turned out pretty good, but it just seems to be needing something, not sure if it's text or whatever. Thanks in advance- luke

Well I see how, if this is your first edit it may be a big deal, but i mean there arent that many changes so not so much to critique. Looks, like you may have adjusted the curves, contrast, brightness, it looks like you bumped up the brightness to high, got rid of zits and what not... there wasnt much to work with in the first place, so sure it's better. it looks like the background is just like 3 different colors which is weird. I would find a texture on deviant art and make it your background. I mean, this must have taken, what...10 minutes? So usually there isnt much to critique on quick jobs like this. But I mean, compared to the b4 it is better so good job.

O and you took the color out of your eyes, so try putting it back! Select your eyes, feather it, then go to color balance and put it where you want.
