Not great, man. Your lights and shadows in the background don't match, and the light on the focal is way too intense for the soft, ambient light of the rest of the piece. Your work with the stock also seemed to add a black border to the whole focal, which makes it stand out too much.

Taco, I hate to bring this up here, but... there doesn't always need to be a light source for the lighting to make sense. Lighting makes sense when the shadows of the fore and background match in directionality and proportion. There's no need for a light source in every tag, especially if that would make the tag worse.

thos tags contain no lighting. and without light source there can't be lighting because if there's no point to originate the shadows are always in the wrong place.

If there's no lighting in the first tag, why are there shadows everywhere?

because of the stocks natural lighting, not added by u.

So then, there's no need for a lighting source for a tag, if there's natural shadow. And since every render is in effect taken from some stock photo, everything already has natural lighting. Therefore, by your logic, there's no need for a light source in a tag, as long as the lighting goes along with the natural lighting of the stock or render.

=)

i supose it's me, but if i don't actually see a little bit of the source it makes little sense.

very nice it sorta pops out at me i like it 8/10

OK I just want to explain the sig.
This is what I was trying to do and yes it very well may be a complete fail.
If you look at the stock she has her hand up like she is blocking something from her eyes which has bandages on them.
Thats why I tried to lighten up the right side and darken the left.
Just so it looked like she was blocking light like the sun or something.

You still overdid the intensity of the light on the focal, and at that rate you should've also upped the intensity of the light in the background.
