   My main focus with this shot is to create an image that isn't flat in any way. The middle has a texture and the blue sections both use gradients. I'm still learning my way around.

   The presence of textures or gradients alone is not what creates depth. As an example, one use of gradients is to emulate a light source, which can come from anywhere. Right now, the gradients in the blue and subtle shadows indicate that the light is coming from directly above (as in from the viewer's perspective). That's fine, but it's also sort of "flat" lighting.

   It's good to see you experimenting. Welcome to Dribbble, Zack!

   Thanks for the feedback Steve! I never considered where my light source was coming from. It's definitely something I'll consider from here out.

   I like the color combination and the blue looks radiant.
