Keep working. Get some more depth in your BG's. Darken up the edges a bit. Just try to experiment different things. Your getting lots better.
your getting a lot better. major weakness as of now is text, but I think the pic effect looks pretty good and the BG ain't bad man.
Lol at lens flare at the ball Yo but for real you are getting better, from your stuff you just started with to now, you can see improvement
its alright, text is bad, looks like you did an outer glow, which is a big no-no. Add a lil more depth by adding more stuff in the bg and a levels adjustment
