Okay I was trying to make it look like flames are coming off him as if he's bursting through the screen kinda, I might sharpen some more and do what you said, with different smudge settings ta for feedback
Ahh Maybe i should increase the opacity of the things on the right side rofl, they are like 6% ahah! thought I'd try blend it in, make the focal point be more appealing, yet again there's only one thing really to look at so quite pointless aha!
Okay , that's where I was going wrong, I was doing the whole thing and the few final things I did were a gradient map and a c4d over the image on soft light, opacity like 15 :S
