So I am making a photoshop for a friend and This is what I have come up with so far....



My friend is the grandson of the guy on the right. I am making it in memory of his grandfather since it is around the time of his death. I want to know what you guys think of it and if you can think of any improvements. Be honest, i want it to look good!!!!

It's alright, but you've cut off the profiles of the two guys at weird spots. I recommend making that smoother as well as taking out the bevel effect (if you made one. If not, it looks like it)

I agree with you that the cut of the profiles is kinda weird. The problem was that the two portraits were not consistent with the positions they took the picture. Thats what i have to improve. Ill see if that makes a good impression on the bevel effect.

Nice to have another Photoshoper here!!!

I am on a phone, so my display may be different than yours, but...

Bevel is kinda gross.
Your saturation is way too high.
The texture isn't all that great.
Why does the emblem fade to red, but doesn't fade to green?
Also its at a completely different angle from the other renders, which doesn't create an appealing motion to it (it brings your eyes to the blank white space at the top right IMO)
Your renders for the people are two different sizes, which contribute to the flow issue.
The red and green are bleeding into the white, without being rather fitting, esp with the texture.
You should maybe shrink the crests or adjust their position.
Your text doesn't seem very aligned.
Your renders are cropped rather choppy.
You're using several different resolution renders without anything to compensate for that.
Can't tell if its a effect of the saturation, but it kind of looks like you're using two separate textures in the same base image (flag)
You brought your gradient shadow on the flag too far in, creates a dark negative space, and emphasizes the bevel on the people renders, which isn't that great.
It kind of looks like you're using a glow on the crests, which is too solid. Blur it out more so its softer.

What I see in the five minutes I had to review this (at work)

Good luck!
