It's a bit busy and the contrast is too high. The text effect could be a little lighter, but overall it's good. Pleasing to the eye. I don't get the black sparkle though

edit: oh and your textures dont really go together. The texture on the text should match or be in the same scheme as the bg texture. The biggest oddball here is the text, but the bg is good

Yea that was a brush mistake ^^' I am a novice - ,-. I was thinking of making the text lighter, but I was unsure so I left it as is.

That's a really nice first piece!
I'd say maybe dull the contrast down a little in the background and add a bit of ambient color (besides red - maybe some green/yellow to counterbalance?)
Also, do something about the text - especially at the left and right sides, it starts blending right into the background. Otherwise, it's lookin great! Keep it up.

Re: Critique Of My First Photoshop Art

I think the text needs reworking. The shading on the bottom of the text doesn't really help I think. The x-gash on the "Te" doesn't look good to me. It looks too random and doesn't affect the letters; it just overlays them. The design on the "ea" looks to clustered, partially because of the shading on the bottom.

Depending on what you want to do with the graphic itself, I think it could be a bit sleeker (less vertical). Definitely a good start though. Just a general tip; When you look to tweak something, you should look at how it affects everything else as well as the immediate area.

Oh, an idea for the x-gash thing... Maybe put it underneath the text? It seems like having it go over the text makes it a little harder to understand.

Re: Critique Of My First Photoshop Art

Looks pretty good but imo it could stand to be smaller, and maybe try to add a nice border. Overall good job.
