I'm glad you explained all of the aspects of this so I would have proper understanding.
The thing that makes you uniqe, just like the kind of work I do, is you put alot more thought into the things you do, you mean to have that deeper thought behind it.
The only thing that holds this image back is the fact that you are still new to photoshop so you don't have advanced techniques just yet.
I want to see more from you. Do something different every time, never repeat anything you've done before. Always try to expand your ideas and thoughts.
PM me everytime you do something new.
