1. Rough edges on the gold work. There are a couple of things you can do here... First, in the effects dialog box - make sure the anti-aliasing is checked whenever you have the opportunity for that. Secondly, you can control-click on the gold layer - which will select it. Then in the select menu, modify, contract 1 or 2 pixels. Then again in the select menu, modify, and feather 1 or 2 pixels worth. Then in the select menu, choose select inverse to select everything but the gold, and press the delete key. Press delete a 2nd time if you want to increase the effect. This will smooth off some of those stray bright pixels appearing along the edge of your gold work.
2. This is purely personal preference on my part, and you may feel differently than I do about this. When I complete an image, I certainly want to sign it and copyright it - but I don't want the text of the signature to distract from the image. Therefore, I usually sign in a smaller font, and I often pull back on the opacity so it blends in better. Sometimes I look at beautiful art work, but come to a large title or signature that actually detracts and takes away from the beauty of the image itself. May I softly suggest you consider this on your images?
Your work is getting more elegant as time goes by. You have a great sense of color and design. Your work is visual pleasure to me - which is the greatest compliment I can pay an artist - that I get joy from looking at your work. Keep up the great work, my friend.
