Thank you! It is depressing, but it fits the mood I was in at the time. The poem is actually my way dealing. That and hanging out with my nine year old...lol.
I used different filters and at least tried to hide most of the obvious results. Some of the brushes are ones I made myself. When I made this, I had it in mind for a background image, so I wanted the words to kind of blend with the rest a little more. By itself, the words DO need more contrast. Maybe a little color?

I have to disagree - this piece is very good. Sometimes "Work smartly" is a good motto. The contrast could use a bit of an upjazz, maybe make the lettersa bit brighter? But theyre fine on my screen; I can see everything well.

I hate it when people use the same filter over and over again when it's ultra obvious. But I don't think that anything in this piece is too obvious that it was filtered. This actually looks good. I would be depressed if I saw it hanging in my child's room and I would probably start counciling, but, in honesty, it's nicely done. I like the subtle background and the font is very fitting. The face is nicely placed, and the "battered paper" look also fits the poem too.

Not bad.

what would you suggest?

I'm a little tougher than that. I don't do "dispair" very often. I agree about the words, but of course, I'm still fairly new to this. That's why I'm hoping for tips so I can improve.

good job utilizing others brushes.... and a pic.

hope that comment doesn't cause you to die a thousand deaths or fall into a deep well of dispair or anything of that nature.

there is not enough contrast tween the words and the .... other stuff... really not a terrible thing but eventually... or quickly.. try to deviate from brushes and filters.
