Looks a bit flat.
Tonal balance could be improved.

Nice colors though.
Nice calm feeling.
Love the helvetica :P

tried a couple of gradient maps, manual dodging/burning and blurring/sharpening but didn't turn out too well. think I just need more practice

Looks lq due to over-sharpening.

Think that might be the high pass filter since I didn't keep any of the sharpened layers

no high pass and higher opacity on grad map:

hm... still looks grainy, but I like it better

Oh, man SM ditch the border it's not doing the sig justice. :soosad:

It's not so much grainy....it seems the colours are distorted, like when you save something as a .gif. This is where I would assume something like topaz would come in handy but does Topaz even work with Ps7?

Anyways I really like the colours I would love to see more of that maroon/purplish through out the piece. Love the bold focal as well, draws your attention right from the get go.

I've never heard of topaz :p But looking it up I'm sure there's an outdated version that works with ps7, might look into it though might be too much work.

W/o border:

w/o border + purple:

Definitely agree without border is better, with the purple it feels kinda conflicting between warm/cold whereas originally it's clear it's cold. Though that might be because I added purple with selective color by dragging down cyan, might have to find a better way to do that.

'Thanks for the Helvetica Font.
It was really useful here.'

Haha. My eyes still work. :-P

Anyway, nice sig! I prefer the very last version you posted.
