As usual, C&C is appreciated, and my text sucks

I'm not much of a GFXer, but the lighting and blur effects make it look really professional.

Only problem that I see, and that you're aware of, is the text.

Good job.

Yeah, what Floyd said. Great job, I like the lighting.

Thanks a bunch

I'll re-do the text once I come up with some ideas :P

Looks okay, room for improvement though!

Lighting is too obviously brushed/gradient range is too short.

Focal point is her necklace, should be her face.

Thanks, just noticed the necklace.

Will put up a v2 soon

And I did not use a brush for lighting, I used some "space pictures" and what do you mean by a gradient range being too short?

blocky gradient space it out

Lighting hurts my eyes.

Nice job, I like the second one more but there isn't any writing in it. In the first one it is kind of hard to see the writing.

The depth is well done in this, but could be improved.

Could be greatly improved with some adjustments, firstly, your text needs to be adjusted, remove the drop shadow, and make it slightly more visible.

Better depth would also improve it greatly, for instance, her hand is blurred significantly moreso than the sunflower at the same distance, her face is perfect and so is the sunflower closer to the camera, just tweaks like this.

I also think you should clear up on the overlays over her face, make the far left corner more interesting, it's too much of a sudden gap IMO.

Need to work on the contrast, lighting, depth and quality. The lighting is just too strong while the flowers take away the depth from the focal point. The composition is choppy.
