Message/Purpose of Graphic: "Regret is one of life's greatest sin."
FIRST GLANCE/IMPRESSION
This is going to be quite redundant and almost the same as the previous one. Though it is a lot better because the title stands out this time but I can't say the same for the credits below it. However, the way you hide credits are not much of a big deal unless you you want it to be really noticable. I also realize there's some blending in this one because the girl's image is see-through or you've figured out how to lower the opacity, which is fine since it means you're learning. Although, I'd suggest you do the same for the guy on the right because he's more solid and it doesn't fit well with the girl's image or vice-versa.
MOOD AND THEMES
It's the same concept as the previous one, but this time there is a variation in images. It's good, even though the guy has his tongue sticking out. I can't really take him seriously but that could just be me. If you could change his picture, I think it would be better for the mood.
COLOR HARMONY
It's not bad. I'll assume that you're trying out the blending since the girl's photo looks like it has been edited. A simple solution to blend all the colors together is adding a new layer and fill it with one color/gradient/your choice and then select the blending options for an appropiate outlook. It really depends how the poster was edited and you would have to test all the blending options to see which one fits. Quite tedious, but it'll help you learn the ropes of what looks best on what.
STOCK USES
At a glance, not much had been done to the stock photos other than erasing around the people with some of the obvious exclusions. When you place the images onto another layer, try erasing the sharp boarders so they don't stick out.I've mentioned earlier to change the guy's photo because the tongue can distract the viewer from the concept. I notice there is a giant tear-looking drop in the middle and I think it's either best to remove it completely or move it higher. It's not really noticable next to the two characters and if it's relevant to the poster, it would be better to drag it to a place where it can be seen.
TYPOGRAPHY
The type is better. It's obviously readable and legible for the viewers. I can see that you've probably duplicated the text and just moved it slightly, which is totally fine. If you would like to do anymore other adjustments or make it softer, you can go to 'layer style' by right clicking on the text layer to add some shadows/glow/bevel onto the text. But that's highly up to you and I think some gradients would help blend it into the poster.
SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES
The scaling of the characters looks almost proportional, however, they still look very narrow. I think I've said before, you can hold 'shift' to resize the photos so they are more proportionate. As far as the brightness goes, the characters are almost at the same level, but it would be great to make the guy darker so he doesn't pop so obviously out of the poster.
OVERALL
Nothing much new in this review but I hope this was still helpful. :)
