I'm kind of new to photoshop and for my fifth project I wanted to make a Master Chief desktop background.

I would love to read some opinions.

It is not terrible. I would like it somewhat better, I believe, if the focal point, or spartan, was at least a tad clearer.

How I got mine: Frank Helsing

I agree, it's not a bad start but cleaning it up a bit would definitely improve the overall piece. For example, clean up your layer edges, like the debris in the top left section of the image. It's cut off in a hard straight line across the top. Try fading it out more so the edge is not so noticeable and maybe roughen the edge too so all the debris is not cut off at the same line. Also, the edge on the left side of the image does not extend to the canvas edge all the way. Try moving the layer over a bit more or try cloning the layer elements in to fill the gap. Keep it up and your work will be spot on.
