Hey that's good Rick... almost like a balloon huh?

I see you got the reflection goin too. [excited]

Gauss... yours looks almost exact, with the exceptions that you don't have a black bg and your gradient colours are a bit to similar; not enough contrast.

1) Definately start out using a black bg. That'll at least help you stay on the right track so far as getting a "similar" result to default image shown in the tute.

2) Use more contrasting colours; at least to start with. This too will help you acquire better results; because you can more easily see what's happening with the image step-by-step. Afterward, the colours and/or saturation can be effected if you wish.
