What else can I do to improve this? Aside from changing my style?

Okay, I'll try my durndest. Thanks for the tips, and I will post it in here, this thread, when I'm done. Are you a moderator or something? You seem to be everywhere at once. lol

another good tip for an image like this might be to put the three elements on different layers, then you can adjust their lighting separately and tweak it up quickly once all the forms are there. And remember that high contrast elements draw the attention and pop forward so maybe ditch the blacks in the background.

I'd advise you to stay away from all those little nasty tools ps has to offer, especially blur. Check out killing.people's ps tutorial http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18980
