WHat's here? A bar and lines and a blur. I seen awhole lot better from you RJ. Now as for this the bar IMO is way to big and IMO is very tacky. You could do without it and try to make a whole b/g or just an effect and black b/g something along that nature. The radial blur isn't needed either. You did an ok job on cropping but you left out some noticble details such as his shoe laces and his head is sort of choppy. Also you put on there young buck well you should put some pics of his rookie season in there or something like that. Just work with it and you'll have something good in this.
I think it's gorgeous. I love it. the font is great, and I love the photo. the background is cool, and you choice of text is exquisite. I rate it a 9.25/10.
I love this BG. I'm not the biggest fan of Mason, but I love this wall.. In fact, I'm going to use it as my wallpaper. great work.
