Theyre pretty good, but you went OTT on the red effects on all of them.

They are good for your first try. That said, the backgrounds are very plain, the images are hard to see, the text needs improvement, and in some cases the blending needs improvement as well. If I knew what program you are using I would be able to give more specific advice. You should download some nice grunge, abstract, and fractal brush sets and take a look at some tutorials.

I am using Paintshop pro 8.
Thank you everyone for your feedback and your advice. In future I shall tone down on the colour.

When you put in text right click on the layer and go to blending options and just fool around with it until you get something you like. Definitely look up all the tutorials you can and you will learn fast. Here's one for you to start with: http://img289.imageshack.us/my.php?i...zzzzzzzzz4.jpg

I think you have potential, definetly, but you need to make the images more obvious. I think all you really need to do is make the image or images at a ahigher opacity, set to overlay, or just put it in and add a nice color adjustment layer, like Tap posted.

Heres a few more that I have done. This time I have used less colour and made the images clearer. What do you think?
