Nice picture. I think it would look even cooler if the pink part in the right half wasn't just a piece somewhere in that blue ... ray of light or whatever it is, but if the ray itself would gradually transition from blue to pink (from left to right), including the various effects sorrounding it.

i dont particularly like the blue splatter brush. I think it lacks depth and just seems to be slapped on

Apart from that its really really good. Would make a good advert for fibre optic broadband

Yeah, the ray gradually shifts the color from blue on the left side to pink-ish on the right side. Would be interesting to see how that looks .

Would look good if it was semi transparent so you could see the lines that reach around it. The edges also look a bit too sharp for something that gives such a glow, maybe a bit more focused glow would be better, more neon-ish.

You could also try to make some bubbles appear more blurred and some more sharp to give the image more depth.

Anyway, abstract is a pretty good way to learn photoshop and it's what most do when they start out, I know I did, even if it was ages ago.

work on transparency and blurs to show light and depth. the edges need softened up. best way to get smooth glow effects I have found is make a layer draw a spot on it. Duplicate the layer and apply gaussian blur to the new layer. Repeat over and over for desired glow intensity. Use this process with straight lines to create light rays and reflections and other elements.

I used gaussian blur on the rays but not much only like 4 pixels
