Firstly, this is in the wrong section... a mod will move it for you soon.
Second, 3 sigs and you expect to be pro? Hah. 2 years, off and on, and I'm still a noob.
Now, on to the C&C. There are no effects... use c4d's, brushing, smudging, stocks on blending options, filters, there's a thousand different ways, follow some more tutorials - some good ones (links later) - to figure some out.
The text is fine with no effects, it takes up space, but to be honest what the hell do you need text for? you're basically take a render, putting it on a background, using a blending option on the render, and giving it a title
There's nothing to C&C other than that... you need effects to C&C, the text is fine where it is, I guess, but it's pointless.

Hope this helps. Be patient. If you don't try you'll never get anywhere, and asking for other people to do the work for you is only going to annoy them. We all worked hard to get where we are.

Unless I misread, he wasn't asking for anyone to do anything for him - he just asked for comments :P

Sorry, Jeff... I'm tired, and I might be misreading things/interpreting them wrong... I edited my post on account of Fuzzy, but I read the bold part as "I've tried... twice... but I'd like it better if you'd just tell me what to do, and give me tutorials." I tried to help, at least :p

Not a bad tag so far looks like you have a decent start. The first thing i would do is drop the text. usually text is one of the later things you add. Towards the end of the sig you wanna add your text, not this early in the game.

At this stage i highly reccomend 3 paths of possiblities.
1. Smudge it. You could smudge your tag, bring out a lot of good flow and a wide variety of colors and effects. Though this style tends to get whored a lot its been on the recline lately. It wouldnt be a bad one from this point on either. Just duplicate your render, get out your smudge brush and set it to scatter and any other settings you like. Then smudge and paint a bit on each layer until you have a flow going to or away from your render.

2. Clipping masks. These are my favorite. You take a splatter brush, brush on a new layer once or twice. Then go to a new layer> image apply image. Then make sure the applied image is ontop of the splattered layer in the layers pallette and hit CTRL-ALT-G. Then just move your applied image around and it gives off a cool like cookie cut effect.

3. C4d the crap out of it. Clipping masks and smudging often use c4ds a lot. But they use mostly effect c4ds. This you just wanna grab a ton of c4d and toss them in a styart blending them together.

These are all good choices i reccomend you follow a tut or two. The list miril put up is nice, take a look at that and you'll easily get your grasp of what you'll be doing.

My tutorial may help you. It's very easy to follow. It's in my signature. :D
It's not bad though, your background doesn't fill the whole canvas; if you look closely in the corners you can see white. Your text needs work too, try to stick to basic fonts or use clipping masks. :D
