    Tell me what ya think.

    Posing on awesome face is pretty good but stage diver looks like he's floating.  
    Fist posing is a little awkward.
    
    Oh and I really hope the stage diver isn't expecting anyone to catch him. Jumping+tiny crowd=Faceplant

@Half-Dead-legacy (Half-Dead) replied

    He's diving at that one guy :ohdear:

After which, @protoAuthor-legacy (protoAuthor) added

    I hope to God stage diver is floating, because that makes it much funnier.  
    I laughed pretty mthompson@example.net.

To which @SatansSin-legacy (SatansSin) replied

    Posing is off in multiple places, simple DoF used, thruster used. Awesome face is **NOT** funny.
    
    The crowd is. In the middle of a forest, or… rock it seems, with no bass, or audio outputs. Good going with that no sound there except strumming.

    Yea, good going their with explaining all the things realistic about it besides the fact the one guy has a huge smiling, yellow circle for a head… It's posted as humour for a reason.
    
    What's wrong with thrusters? And tell me where the posing is off.
    
    The stage diver might be floating O.o

    Same to you? lol, it's funny, you actually care. Yea, small crowd, cause i have the kinda time to pose 40 people seperately, or mabye i'll use duplicator and get bitched at for it :V
    
    I'll start photoshopping better when people start telling me how.

After which, @Santz-legacy (Santz) added

    I have seen alot of Satansin's pictures and they are cool.  
    This one looks like it was done in like 5 mins.

    I am not going to spend an hour photoshopping it, simple as that. Why? It will never be anything more then just a nice little “touch”.

    that nice little “touch” might even improve the picture so much that people like it. you don't spend time on your pictures. that's why the quality of your pictures are terrible. practice makes perfect, so spend more time practising.

    The part where you “get it in the picture” and make it, “not look like a clearly photoripped peice of garbage”.

    Practice posing? Yes, practice photoshopping? Erm, if you mean practice using touch up effects such as blur, vibrance, filters and whatnot, sure, anything other then that, it's a waste of more of my time.
    
    I love how you put things, if someone has the best posing in the world, you'll bash them for not photoraping the hell out of it, i love this!

Then @Fort83-legacy (Fort83) said

    Well if your going to doubt yourself your pictures will never improve and you will always get this type of criticism. Like stea1th said, you must take time on your pictures on both editing and posing, scenebuilding.  
    No one is going to show you how to use photoshop it's something you gotta learn by yourself, and secondly that's why google is around. Use it to find tutorials on how to do things in photoshop.  
    I also agree with everything satan said.
    
    Also take time on pictures like this one (don't know if it will load)

    Doubt myself? About what? My pictures? I just upload them cause i want to, nothings “driving” me to do so, i just do it and act accordingly. If people wanna be pricks about it, fine, go right ahead, but don't expect not to get it back in return.
