I'm in the process of desinging a mock album cover for my cousin sister. Here is how far i've come thus.
Pls help me critic before i present it. Thanks

Here is the original photo.

wowwwwwwww.....awesome

And here is the back cover.

I was thinking of trying a 3D feel option on the back cover. So, by experimenting on some brush and blending options this is what i ve so far.
What do you think of this direction guys compared to the above one?

Everything is being done with photoshop.
