hmm not bad.
First thing i notice though is this seems like blown out or soemthing! Did you up the contrast a ton or somethign? I would drop that, and then also lower the opacity on the sharpening you did, right now i cans ee the texture of his cigar, which means its over sharpened.
Also he's a bit big. You really want a smaller render/focal so you can play around more, do more work. I'd say next time mak your focal like 1/4 or 1/5 of your sig. I think you'll find it much more fun to play in lol.
not bad on the text. IMO the techy feeling is a bit off. I would have prefered somehtign more "playa" like..garamound would have been good. Classy but still good.
Next sig dont use that little line thign int he middle. I get the feeling your becoming dependent on it and you dont want to be dependant on anything.
Not a bad bg, decent smudging, but i dont understand the gold rings. They look a bit odd and throw the focal out of whack.
Overall not bad, i sugegst you read up on like 2 tuts. You know the basics but you gotta catch up on techniques and such.
