    Doesn't look like you put any effects into in. Just looks like you picked an angle, and took a pic.

    This isn't good at all. You just threw FX Juicy in there, and looked into the wasteland in front of you. Bleh. At least you tried.

    1.5/5

    Guys, dont you see the beach? It could be way better though. Try a different angle, and you do not need a person on the screenshot. So far a 2/5.

    Don't worry about the screenshot noobs here that think every picture needs an effect to be great.

    I think the green water(whatever it may be) gives off a swampy kinda feel.
    The Elite being there adds to it seeing they look reptilian in my opinion.

    I think it would look better if the Elite was a different color though, maybe green?

    I agree with the australian. I do see what you are going for but the elite kind of makes a contrast and sticks out to much.

    To really capitalize on the mood of your shot, zoom out to catch the full (Or as much as possible of the,) Elite.
    Make some different poses in theatre and see what's best. And as mentioned, try some different colours to see how they contrast with the background.
    It could help to use the default Elite helmet so you can see his face, it adds a little humanity (Eliteity?) and allows you to connect with the character and the mood more.

    I really like what you tried to do with this shot! The name and mood complement each other very well.
    Also, check out the Rule of Thirds. It can have an effect on how people percieve your shots.

    The filters are perfectly fine.
    If you so choose, you could put down a colourblind to desaturate the colours (But with juicy and gloomy turned on it doesn't make the shot completely black and white!).
