First submission?! It's good good for just getting used to photoshop (I should know, I had the same getting used to!)
I hope that maybe you can take my critcism and improve greatly! ^^ no worries, huh?
Extraction is good - although you may need to try and blend the scanned image in with the background a little more
especially around the hair. I'm figuring that either the extraction round the hair was a little rushed (which can
be reachieved by taking your time and cutting slowly) or perhaps its cut correctly and it just isn't suiting the
background...so it looks bright white. Try a few blending techniques, or some of the tutorials and I'm sure that
would look great.
Colours are certainly different, reminds me of coffee mornings and cups of tea! Nice blending, and lovely use of different tones and shades, it has a nice effect, and really complements the girls clothes.
Writing is nicely done, but maybe a little too much of it ^^" but maybe thats me personally, because I can already be quite picky with words! Nice theme to the words, and nice font used. Nice colour, not too black! ^^
Keep up the good work, I'm sure you will become excellent with time! Learn from others and others will gladly learn from you!
Thank you for submitting it,
