Cool Pop Art Imaging

My first try at Pop art...
How do you think I could've improved?

Aukaad hai kya?

Not bad, but there's a bit too much brown. This makes the entire image look duller and darker overall.

But in the instructions that I followed there was no mention of how could I vary the background and the subjects...

you can find anything in the background and just chagne color to grey or another non conflicting color. Just to give the sense of something in the background. Being all the brown it looks as though its all one piece of something. You could make the ceiling more of a dull yellow or the bars of the subway or train or whatever they are on a greyish white color. You know what I mean? Just to show that its some type of structure. I think the skin tones should be adjusted up or down a bit too so its not the same os the backround.
I like the photo seems like a hard one to start out with using this style. Usually its a closer crop of one person or maybe two. Keep it up though and you'll be amazed at how fast you fall into your "own style" that just works. And remember any type of CS or post editting process is open to interpretation. Change them up and see what you get.

Interesting technique. I can't say I know anything about what you did, or really how you could improve it beyond saying that I agree that it's quite brown. Not knowing much about what you've done that's about all I can say. The shot itself looks quite neat. Is there an original?

Cool Original

Pharma Rocks!

Pinball...thanks for the comment. I guess you are right...I chose a real difficult first pic to work on. I will choose something easier and post it again. Though this would not be a part of the traditional Pop Art image but the feel that I get from it is really amazing...and as you said hope I could get "ma own stlye"!
