My First Wallpaper
Hello all. This is my first wallpaper. Please let me know what you think.
:wink:
I could use some suggestions for the placement of the text, if necessary at all.
Thanks.

yeah nice ... um.. the girl on the right needs her back either cloned in, and/or shaped w/the eraser or a brush, or you could use selection and delete. That area looks kinda weird ... easily fixed though ...
looks good...

yeah... I don't know if cloning would be good in this case, I think maybe just try smoothing... making it just a bit less bony looking in that area could improve it, and take away that negative attention getting quality that it seems to have .. to me anyway... I don't know though ... I wonder if other people see that area in the way I do .... maybe not at all for all I know... lol .. nice job for your first wallpaper though for sure, I'd say..

Here's the best I could do about the girls on the right's back.
Is it too blurry?

That looks perfect to me... really nice job on that Drummer...
You "added" to the pic by "subtracting" .... I do that a lot... it really fine tunes a pic .. it's the little things that mean a lot when it's near completion I've found, and they can actually make the difference between good and great ... beauty dude .. :wink:
If you make the width of your pics no more than 790px ... you shouldn't have a side scroll bar, also, I optimize jpg's to no more than 85k, and then I don't have to worry about them shrinking during upload, and people having to click to enlarge.

I like how you incorporated hot lesbians into this background of yours. I think the only way you can improve would maybe to add more hot lesbians to your background?
