Photobucket always seems to lower the quality in my experience, i dislike it. Picture would be better with some good server... like say....... imageshack? The text looks sorta like random scribbles also, even though i really like it.
I like the lighting on his hair and shoulder, the colors and blending used in the background look very nice. Seems like it needs something else though, you got your background and your focal, now what are you going to do with it? The quality looks the same to me. Personally I always use tinypic. None of that logging in bullcrap and it lasts indefinitely. When I make text, no matter what the medium, I can never decide if I should make the text look nice and be legible to me, or be legible to everyone, and have it be simplified. I guess you got to go with whatever suits your goal in the piece.
I think the text looks kinda odd. Simply because... well, I guess one way of explaining it is that the text is currently like this / but in my opinion it should be \. Basically, it's currently tilted to the right, but should be tilted to the left. I'm not sure how easy it would be to change this though, as I'm guessing the font has the text tilted that way.
I blame a combination of your camera, and your fancy-ass bong. Seriously guys, haven't you heard of an apple?
OH MY GOD that is ice, i thought it was just some fancy-shmancy **** that claims to make it better or somethin'
