Yea I agree, GIMP is the best "free" program!! Thats what I started out on as well!! The right side looks a little washed out, I know that's because the light source, but the right side is completely lightened and the left side of the focal is completely darker!! On something like this I would suggest either bringing in some darker spots around the outer part of the right side or making the color itself darker than the left side and that way when you lighten it with the light source it won't look washed out!!

I knew there was something off with it! I couldnt figure it out though haha....thank you for pointing me in the right direction....I struggle with the light source and its position and getting the right text font. Ill keep practicing!

Ill have to test it out to see how it is
GIMP has way more functionality for design that paint.net imho. they even make a photoshop styled version of gimp called gimpshop however nothing will beat the real photoshop.(i run cs6)

the right side dose look washed out. if it is caused by a layer i would duplicate the background and pull one to the front so its not washed out then layer mask it to blend with it. but its hard to suggest how to fix it without seeing the way the layers are put together and layered lol.
