What you feel is missing is atmosphere starting from the right side. See right now what is happening is that the colors on her left side suggest that there is atmosphere, the right side suggests that a light source is within the atmosphere.
The tag brightens up on the right side and darkens up on the left side which means your next point or in case you want to finish this one should be the right side.
With a maybe 55 pix soft brush on 100%, make a small dash line like this - on the right side middle of the signature. The color that I personally would pick would be gray for this tag to make the line. Once the line is made go into Gaussian blur and mess with the spread until you feel most of the signature is covered and its touching 25% or more of the left side.
Once you apply your GA (Gaussian blur) change the layer mode into something nice and soft but make sure that the gray is visible. Once you have found a layer mode that works for you, mess with the opacity until you feel that there is an atmosphere/almost realistic feel to the picture.
Once THAT's done, brighten up the right side a bit with the same step you just did and with the burn tool darken up spots that the light won't be touching like the side of her face, neck, around here hair etc

pro tip; tags with this style look really great in small canvas like 390x100 or so. If you are going to do some more experimenting with this style you should try working with that size, I promise they will look pretty sick.

Too light on the right side.
Effects are nice. maybe make the bubbles smaller + have more of them?
seems a little monotone..
It's a nice style, though, I prefer these subtle styles.
Pretty nice bro
Just it needs something else to make it pop a bit
Maybe get the lighting a tad bit better by burning the left a bit more.
than try add in another fractal or two to try get some pop going
Other than that like it bro. Nice and simple
