Lose the fractals in the background, the border, and the text. The tag also seems flat and somewhat washed out. Work on composition.0

You've tried to hard, too many fractals - it looks sloppy in my opinion. Low Novice.

Well as a beginner I figure the better CnC, the more you learn. So I'll try and elaborate on everything.

Strong points: None seen
Weak points: Composition, lighting

Strong

The sparklike effects scattered throughout the canvas is nice and works well with composition. They flow nicely and work with your style.

Weak

You need to work on your composition and lighting. Your effects are wild and don't compliment each other. You've whored fractals with weak blending, and that's a nono. You should try and, instead of using them as a background, use them as effects. Try and blend them together and maybe they'll improve your composition.

Also your lighting is weak. To start try filling a layer with black and use a color that's chosen from your tags environment to compliment the light. Your sources clash, as one comes from the top left of the focal, the other from the right, and the other from the bottom to the right of the focal. When using multiple sources, at least they need to make sense and shine light in the right direction. Your lines are also jagged looking, as your contrast is too strong. If the lines appear like so, just stop what your doing with your lighting and experiment new techniques. Here are a few:

Adjustments: Adjustment layers can do lighting great justice, but could also have a negative effect if used incorrectly.
Brightness/Contrast, Curves, etc.

Brushing: Filling a layer with black and brushing with the proper color can work nicely, but you have to know how to blend it. Using color dodge will work, but can easily cause over contrast, which can easily be fixed by doing the same again, except this time using different layer blending such as screen/linear dodge(add). As you do so, experiment with the opacity as you will be using multiple lighting layers, and it's a must that they don't stand out too much.
Tip: Don't use white, use a color from your tag that is repeated throughout your natural lighting.

Overall you have a decent start, just try and improve using the critique you receive and you'll get better in no time! :D
