Hmmmm I like this one, but I'm not sure exactly what is supposed to be sort of the focal point. Is it the figure in the center or the figure in the bottom left? I'd say find a way to get whichever one isn't the focal point just a tiny bit less accented (right now they're both pretty equal in prominence) and this will be good.

My first thought was that it kind of works to not have a specific focal point. It lets the viewer decide what you think it most important. I was drawn more towards Daniel Craig. I would like to see him with a little more opacity, but that's just because I'm making him the focal point. I think with everything that's going on (as in Quantum of Solace coming out this week), he is pretty major as the idea of James Bond to people. I personally prefer the Sean Connery and Roger Moore era. And I agree that it would work better to cover up that edge by switching the layer around. It also emphasizes the picture of Daniel Craig to do that because that whole image will be in the foreground.

The revision on this collage is great. I like how everything flows together. My only suggestion is to layer the image of Bond kissing at the top behind the layer of the gun image so you don't see that flat edge.

I agree with Anthony about that edge. While your at it, you might play with the scale and presence of that image. What if the woman and Bond are larger so that you get more of the sense of two Bonds--perhaps one with the gun in conflict with the other?
