I'm still pretty rusty, but here.

Its to crowded, and relies to much on the render. Try shrinking the render a bit, and then adding some more effects to support the render, not give me a headache trying to see everything.

I agree with DF that you've tried to include too much, but I wouldn't remedy that by putting in more effects. I'd say be rid of as much of the clutter as you can, aside from the parts essential to the direction of the tag, then add in different effects to support the flow of the tag.

The black and white one is definitely better, though I think you'd be better off just partially lowering the saturation, not completely desatting it.

Incidentally, thanks for dragging that relic out in your sig Hammy. Old Skool indeed.

Is this by any chance from Crysis? I can't freakin tell at all, my only clue is the texture, not the actual image. It's easier to see on the B&W one too because the colors aren't extremely clashing. There's too much going on and I really don't like the colors you used.

o_O I guess that doesn't make sense...

Though occasionally if you add enough effects it ends up just turning into smooth background...and not really effects after all.

LOL true.

Thanx a bunch for the advice guys I got quite a quick response, okay I'm thinking of possibly redoing this tag, so what I've gathered is:
Change of colours(defo too saturated).
Less clutter, maybe more of an organized effect.
Sort out the focus.

Cheers I REALLY appreciate the crit.

Oh, Matt yah I'm airing out old tags and I liked this one a lot.

EDIT: Now I look back at the tag I see just how bad it is, sometimes you don't pick these things up when your lost in the process of making it.It really helps with a fresh pair of eyes.
