your advice of how to not "suck" was to put a forest picture without any trees in it as the background because then its realistic as pandas dont have a place to live? a forest without trees is nothing, just mud/leaves/grass? thats hardly better than a background with a bit of depth and colour. saying that you were alot better than this on your first i think is quite a bold statement as i have seen some of your previous work and its hardly in much different league to this work, even so not everybody is a natural and some people find things hard, its the effort to get better that matters.
