Looks like a nice beginning! I don't think grayscale adequately conveys how powerful a tool GIMP is though. I think it needs more color though, and perhaps a paint brush or two (or is that the GIMP logo?).
Thank you for the feedback and kind words. I was going for subtle with this one. I know what you are saying but with this one did not want such a look. But for the next it will have more bling to it.
