did you manip the eq graphic for the shield in the scene hun? I think the manip wrk looks really good, but the image itself comes across a bit pixely to me. I usually use the concept artwork.. Ill see if I can find it for you.. the last time I looked for it the site was down..
As for the background, you can always find soemthing like a forest scene in DA stock or even a game screenshot and adjust coloring to your liking blur the crap out of it hehe, its usually what I do ><
aside from that I love the image hun, lighting is beautiful
