Whats up man. first off. welcome to the community. this is really cool forum and i think you will find it helpfull and fun.
as Haunus said, i suggest a few things that maybe you would like to try.
I llike what you did. i think it is cool in its simplicity.
I think that one of the harder things to do on these images is adding text that is successful. I think that the three layers of type almost works here because there isnt to much to the compasition, its just two people and the leaves. i think you should try some different text or maybe no text at all. i see you have one big leaf on top of the letters. i think that that takes away from the picture. its this cool blue text and right above the first word there is a brown leaf. if you really want to keep the text i would try maybe keeping just the bottum layer of the type. then keep the outerglow you have. but change the color of the outer glow to one of the colors of the leaves and just play with the sliders to make it however you like it. that will make the text pop and i think it would tie in the leaves with the blue.
(the leaf that is on the guys head is bothering me)
over all i think this is a really nice simple picture. i think it is great considering it is a 6 hour experience design. maybe just play around with the things i said and if nothing else you'll deff. find more stuff that you like.
I am goig to go ahead and suggest what i tell everybody while im here. on the bevel and emboss, there is a color swatch for the highlights and darks. when doing the bevel, it will look much better if you change the highlight color to a lighter color of whatever it is you are applying the bevel to. this will make it look not as plastic. you can also change the bevel highlight to the color of whatever lighting you have in the picture (if you have blue lights, check out the blue highlight in the bevel.)
ok man thats all i have for this. i welcome you again to the site and keep it up man. we'll try to help the best we can, its a great group of people.
looks great man
