I suggest you use this thing called the "Edit" button. It's not there for decoration.

And please don't host images from Geoshities.

Lens flare, scan lines, tut text...not very creative.

Was looking at the sig link. :/ My bad.

Now that I see the correct one, let me critisize.
Wind filter; Lose it. It's one of the most useless filters in Photoshop right next to the evil Lens Flare. The only time it would be semi-relevent is if you made something to look like frozen icicles and snow. Anything else is wasted space and not pleasing to look at.
Lineart; I see 5 areas that either have a gap or a cheap cover-up. Anti-alias the lines if they're not already.
Background; Ah yes, the wonderful gradient tool. For Gods sake, use this thing called the Eraser Tool in some spots. There are 2 bright gradients going right that are completely not in alignment.
Top and bottom; Add more shit than black. Atleast my last wallpaper that had that is semi-transparent, so it isn't just pure black. Add text, too. No wallpaper is complete without text.

As you can see, you need to work on LOTS.

Lineart is far worse than cookie-cutter trend art. A simple blur filter can, however, make the lines look decent.

I suppose I speak for everyone here; yes, we do. It's the most powerful graphics program out there. Get it first. No, it does not produce 3D shapes (as shown in mine and a couple others), but everything else. Once you understand Photoshop (6) well, try to find 3D Studio Max: one of the best 3D programs. If it's too hard for you to start, find Cinema 4D, like I use. It's limited, but is good for n00bs. I do not use it cause I'm a n00b (which I'm not)...but because my computer can't run max.

So yeah, almost everyone who does graphics uses Photoshop mainly, and if they do 3D, either Lightwave/Maya/3D Studio Max/Cinema etc...
