i like this better when it's rotated to the left, but that would probably make your necks hurt again. :3

first thought in my mind was "you crazy diamond." lemme know if you get the reference.
something you can do to improve this, that will only take a minute or two. add a layer mask to whichever layer is on top, and use a large brush at 0% hardness to smooth out the where the layer meet, the straight lines. if you've never done it before, you should get the hang of it really quick, otherwise feel free to ask for tips if you need them.

it's ok.
the way a mask works, is it hides parts of the layer, without erasing it. it's a good practice to use masks, just in case you want to bring something back a long time after you made it go away.
you use photoshop, right?
if yes, then there's a button on the bottom of the layer pallet for layer masks. select the top layer, then click the button. it will add a white thumbnail next to the layer thumbnail. make sure you select it, and then set black as your foreground color. select the brush tool, and set it to a large 0% hardness brush. now just paint next to where the layers meet. don't paint on the line itself, but next to it, the soft edge of the brush will make the two layers blend.
when masking. painting in black hides things. paint in white to bring it back. and if you want to just have a subtle low opacity change, paint in a grey, or lower the brush opacity. lowering the opacity will give you more control, but if you want a specific opacity level, say 68%, then setting the color to 68% grey will get you the exact result.
it may sound complicated, but you'll get the hang of it really quick. masks are one of the easiest, and most powerful things you can use in PS.

oh yes. (:
i do use masks, but i didn't get what you meant by painting to where the edges meet.
thanks for taking the time to make sure i knew how to use them!

oh, well good to know you use masks.
i was just talking about how when you use a large soft brush it has a wide spread, and therefore a very soft edge. so when you paint with one on a mask next to something it softens the edge, and makes it blend with what's behind it.
i have a tendency to be vague, occasionally. the rest of the time i'm usually too detailed.
if you get the chance, you should watch the photoshop top secret videos. there's a lot of helpful tips in there. i'm pretty sure that's where i got that masking technique from.
