First sig in ages... a very big 'experiment', dunno if it worked... C&C please!

[BeefStew]

Hmmmmm... well, the colours aren't too good, kinda icky. Maybe try it in black and white. I like the effects, flow and the concept, but all the stuff on low opacity makes it look kinda messy. Also I think the second focal is too distracting, lower opacity/blur a bit if you're going to keep it. It's okay overall though, I've seen a lot better from you.

My excuse is that I'm ill - I've got the flu...XP

Nice, but like Beef I'm not a fan of the second focal, I would say you remove it as the shape is quite cutting, I would also say you go bnw, with these tags, the colour is nice but I just prefer tags with stronger defining colours.

[Iced Tea with Lemon]

Yeah, I just shoved that focal in last minute, don't really know why. I was working black and white, and the colours are just bits of old tags and stuff set on overlay.

V1.2

V3

Yeah the first version was kinda weird. The last black and white one is the best out of them.

Maybe a nice curves adjustment for it to make it a bit more contrasting and not too flat. The background has nice flow. Good job.

Ya try out the curves but remove any effect the curves have over the focal as its already pretty contrasted.
V2 and V3 look a lot better, gj.

V3 looks the best, by far. There's this weird gray spot over the render in V2 that's really distracting. The red looks awesome, but the dark green near the render don't work very well. The Black & White makes it flow better and look so much cleaner. Good job!

Also, your topic title?
It should be Je suis perdu(e), which means"I'm lost". Although it is correct to say <<Je me suis perdu>>, you would never see a French person say that. It's like saying "I am lost" in English, when most people just say "I'm lost". Even so, you don't abbreviate the 'm'. The same thing goes for 'Je'. The French only leave off the vowel if the next word also begins with a vowel. For example:
<<Je m'appelle Allyson.>>
Me + Appelle = M'appelle
<<J'aime le chocolat.>>
Je + aime = J'aime

^I live in France! XP

'Je me suis perdue' means I lost myself, rather than 'Je suis perdue' I am lost.
I'm 2nd (or 3rd) in my class in French, in a French school! The French don't really say that, you're right, but as a title, it works. I might do another sig called ' dans le desespoir' to go with it.
Thanks for the C&C, I'll post another version soon.

EDIT: To be honest, the title was kinda to see how people would react... I know I'm mean! XP
