Alright, on the newer versions, I like the text placement bottom-right (like you are using in your sig version) Because :
1-You don't want to overlay the parrot in flight (feels like it kills the movement)
2-Don't cover any of the lighter window in the middle. It really gives the image depth, even if it's hard to visualize what you're looking toward there, it's still obvious that your going deeper into the image there.

Onyl real issue I have is that the bird on the right side seems too dark/muted/monotone. You've cut off all but the red, making it seem dull opposite the vibrant colors of the other one. If you can nudge him back into the scene just enough to allow some of the wing/tail colors to fill in, I think that might help. Otherwise, I might look at not including him at all. If you did that, you could either fill in top-right with the flowers you're covering with the text, or try the text there and free up the flowers in the bottom-right.

Just my .02

I didn't see this topic

Well, you want my HONEST opinion?
I mean my most honest honest opinion?
Swear you won't be mad??

.

Well, the final version is great

Good text placement, best at bottom right.
The parrots are in good position, I like the effect you did with it. I agree w/ jgul, the colors are beautiful and vibrant

all in all, great art and I give 10/10 on it. Keep it up!

I like the final outcome indeed, looks great.

I might have tried playing just a little tiny bit more with the light, both dodge and burn tool, but I guess that's just something I like to do

Good work mate, keep it up

Come on Anthony, tell us what you really think... honestly... lol

I did forget to mention that I LOVED the depth of the blacks on the right contrasting with the vibrant colors on the left. Made it look/feel like one of those black velvet pictures you colored in as a kid. Like a velvet Elvis, only sexier!
