Well... This is my first attempt at photoshopping an image and I was wondering what you think? (besides the fact that the reflections are screwed up)

Not bad, especially for your first image. I would work on the reflection though.

Lucky Ducky! I couldn't ever bee that good at photoshopping I think... I'm pretty good at most 'computer' stuff, and I'm good with page layout

good luck in your future photoshop expiditions, and don't be like me and give up with photoshop.

It looks like good ol' Sol finally upgraded to OS X (ie. the beach ball cursor)!

Is that the sun in HI and x-rays?

It did remind me of a blue/orange version of the older beachball cursor

I like it, very nice for your first shop!

Now, as one shopper to another, here are things I would work on, more for your own skill rather than 'fixing' the image, i like it alot as it is.
-Make the edge of the islands with the "sun" behind them a bit more blurred and such. maybe select just that area and do a gaussian blur. It just seems a bit "sharp" to me.
-As Z said(and yourself), the reflection. I am VERY impressed you got it to look that good on your first shot. On thing that is easy and would add a great deal of realism, a simple gradient mask. This will make the part closer to the foreground more transparent, adding a nice effect.
-The border to the trees just kinda looks unfinished-ish. Its hard to see on the small version, but on the 3mb one, you can see. I honestly don't know what you would wnat here, its more of your artistic vision in that area.

Hope that helps. I am quite impressed with it, keep up the good shopping!

Pretty good ^_^

heh… if anyone wants to see Photoshop stuff I've done…

http://www.toheart-infinity.cjb.net/
http://geocities.com/clandeltacat/frames.html

I think all the images on ClanDeltaCat were done in Photoshop 4.0
and all the images except for HMX's drawings were done [or at leasted edited in Photoshop]

Oh and be sure to look at the middle group of fan art…

If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

Ok, I am lazy but I put together a directory of all the pshp stuff I could find (which involved looking in two folders). I put it up at:
