i never said no criticism...im still practicing, i can quite get blending, and im trying, but i just cant seem to do it,im still very new to photoshop, i need someone to give me realy indepth advice as to how i can blend well, if you noticed i did smudge for the backround, but then i cut out the render, put it over, merged the images, then blured the outline of the render, i thought it looked good....but i guess not....and what i meant by no crap...well sometimes when i post ppl just go reambling on about its crap, but they dont state EXACTLY why, they make it to general.
