Alright, i'm not going to lie, there wasn't that much photo manipulation to the original image itself. The most I did was give the lovely horse more and a red tinge, the overlayed and opacitated it. X3 Everything else is just fancy font, brush work, and textures. However, I would still very much appreciate the honor of having it critiqued, as I would like to grow and strengthen as a Graphic Designer and Artist. This was actually part way and assignment, whereas we had to do a bit of a "Grunge" style, for those who know what that is. XD Anyway, to make things a bit easier and not explode your computers with this things image, here's the link: i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn54/Adaj_TOT/ScarletsWings.jpgSorry that the picture is still pretty big. X3

Well to begin with the text is very plain. I'd try a gussian blur then overlay effect, but try other things too. play around with it, and make sure it doesn't blend in too much with the other text in the background.
I'm not to fond of the texture over the horse, I say take a fluffy eraser brush with a low opacity and go over it. Don't completely get rid of that part of the texture just kinda fade it.
if you wanted to make it a bit more exciting, put some fog brushes or something over the bottom of the pic. then add some more grungey swirly brush thingies.
^^ did that make any sense? XD rambling is one of my specialties. but overall good pic =3

It made perfect sense! THANK YOU! I love getting crtisizm, no matter what it is. I will try your suggestions ASAP. :3 I'm glad someone commented on this, I was worried no one would, and I like to get everything I can to help myself improve. I'll play around with some stuff, and see if I can make the picture pop more. Thank you again! <3333
