Okay, so this is my first try at a... well, i dunno what you guys call it. But where I use it, its called "profilepic". Or, its "profilbilde" which is directly translated into english/norwegian (messed everything up again).
Well, since im incredibly bad with vector (i guess its called) background, i had to make it with filled background. Thats why its kinda bad to show here.
over saturated , theres some sort of scan lines behind his head at the left remove that , try to lower down the light behind him , desaturate the fire more to make the guy (focal) stand out
Theres a lot of smudging going on.
For me the over saturation kinda killed it. Along with the black background. Did you try to put a background on it and see what it looked like?? It would look a lot better with a abstract or smudge background.
i dont like the ripple effect.
Remove it, maybe it will look better.
