    Well, seeing that it's your first time and only using filters i think you did pretty good.

    Not bad for a first try, but of course there's lots and lots of room for improvements.
    First of all, the BG is very dull/boring and repetitive. It's also very flat, so add some depth to it. To add some depth, try adding "Brightness and Contrast/Curves/Levels". They help a lot.
    Secondly, that lens flare doesn't really help the lighting one bit, it's just there and I don't think it looks very good.
    Thirdly, I know it's your first, but try multi-coloring your signature next time, it will look better than just a dull green. Render is a bit too small, take advantage of the render and make it bigger, fill a little bit more space in.
    I would also change the text to a much cleaner text so that it looks better and easier to read (Not that it&#39;s hard to read now <_<)

    Overall, not bad for a first try. I suggest you read some tutorials and don&#39;t be scared and try mess around with the filters and blending modes!

    Way better than the first one but the size is waaaay too big, make it smaller. But you&#39;re over-blending your render too much. Render looks a bit squished so next time, when you&#39;re resizing the render, hold shift while resizing so that the render will be kept in proportion.

    I don&#39;t like the Bevel and Emboss effect or the font of the text, keep trying though

    Don&#39;t worry, I&#39;ll help when I can, and I&#39;m sure that others will do the same too
    To me, this 3rd signature is quite good, creative and original, well done. There isn&#39;t a definate size for a signature, so I guess the size of your first signature is okay. Try not to go over 400x150 though, otherwise it&#39;ll be too big and won&#39;t look good. This third one is definately the best out of the three, I think you should current it.
    Now, for improvements, I think you should focus working on your text, try fonts like "Arial" very simple and clean. Probably a yellowy orange color would go with it too.
    But the text you have now, it&#39;s black and white, doesn&#39;t really fit with the "Orange - Yellow" color theme. Nice job though, you improved a lot already
