hmm... you are getting better and its obvious that you are finaly takeing on board everyones advice

which will please alot of people... however!
as you said compression was a b1tch to it.
did you try and sharpen the plane at all, or the back ground???
next time, use a background that doesnt have so many complex colours in it and compression will not as big of an issue
at the moments thats all i shall recoment
