you have two options.

a) bin it.
b) replace 'wind' with 'kite', and the remove that horrid pic of the sailcraft.

Good job windykid.
I agree with Crashlanding, although you could try a late sunset pic over water (I'm a bit partial to the odd sunset, and it should be dark enough to highlight text). If the text doesn't show well enough, try creating a shadow for the text - If using photoshop, copy, move down/right and adjust shadow tone (image>adjustments>levels). From here you can get artistic, and stretch the shadow along the water.....or whatever you want to do.....you're the boss! Make sure you post the finished article when it's done.

pic and background nice.
change the colour of the WINDSURFING.
perhaps to white or yellow

i was using flash 8 to make it and i just wanted to play aroung with the text masking

Ah right, you've taken the windsurfer from the photo. That's actually quite good.

How long you been doing this? You might be a natural.

The second one is much improved. The only suggestion I'd make is to have the drop shadow a little more subtle, you want a grey (or even juuust indigo) for realism. Add a black, very thin outline around the text to make it stand out. I liked the first cartoon windsurfer better. That's all. Very good.

Maybe, move your harness lines closer together?
