    Looks to me like you have just upped the contrast and saturation, and changed the hue a bit. Well, I do like the colours but i would aggree with McHaggis saying its a bit over contrasted nad too dark

    He took out the logos. He probably has it that dark to help cover-up any traces of them.

    Yeah, but you can darken some parts of the image, not the whole thing.

    To me it looks like he got a copy of the album cover without anything on it, edited it and then used a different image to show the original.

    I like it, but it seems a little overcontrasted around the wings.
    I think it would look good slightly toned down.

    EDIT: I took a second glance at the edited one and noticed spots where he's used the clone tool or healing brush.
    Yup, the little parental advisory thing and the other one were edited out.

    Okay....? Yes I did use the original pic that I posted. I also did a LOT of overcontrasting then color selecting and layer masks and stuff to get the firey effect on the wings (Notice the rest isn't as contrasted) And the horizon under the cloud stuff is more contrasted... w/e thanks for posting...

    I like just about all of it...except the text. The little emblem below the guy looks too plain and solid. It needs some texture.

    Really, you did a great job. The original did look cool, but yours is better.

    No I mean look around the text. It is a low quality JPEG...

    And it sucks.

    Wow, if Diz thought that the 1st ones were low qaulity jpegs, dn't let him see the new version. lol
    Sorry, it just looks sloppy. The pixilisation thing doesn't really work and you can see the places where its been smudged and it stands out. I know you where going for a destroyed look, but it doesn't really work. No. 2 is best.

    A little overboard on v2. Good job removing the emblem though. You can hardly tell it was there.

    Uh... Dude. Search Breaking Benjamin Phobia on any search engine. The cover itself is supposed to be a grungy low quality pic. That is the style. There are no other high quality pics of it. Seriously. Give some decent CnC or don't even bother commenting.

    Oh my bad, princess.

    CnC is CnC. Comments and critique. 'Tis not limited to just one thing.

    Low quality? Yes. Worse than yours? No. Take some time to search for a good quality stock image or at least semi-good, and in the end it will be a huge help...
