Reach Sig

here is my attempt at a sig again...hope it looks good. CNC apprec.

In my opinion it looks a bit too dark. The render is sharpened a lot. Background looks ok. You could work on the lightning a bit more. Text could be improved.

i agree with KroniiK its a little to dark try adding some curves or mess around with the lighting effects. gj.

here is v2 didnt know what to do with the text so i just took it out.

I mean you've improved a bit on the v2 with the lightning.. and I like how the background is blurred and your Spartans are standing out.

Side Note: I don't know why but the spartan on the far left all the way at the bottom looks like has a hard-on... kind of weird o.O Add a border, and add your username text to the siggy. Just keep it simple Like i do on all my siggies place my text in a spot and make it overlay and reduce opacity sometimes.

On topic(again):
Perhaps try making a signature without a render maybe that would help you get started at first and once you've learned a couple of tricks then move on to the stock images. Anyway The background light in the middle is way too bright try reducing that.

ok so i cant figure out how to make that bright spot darker. tried to make it to where i did a layer mask and it didnt do anything for it. even tried to soft light with a black soft brush that didnt work either. im lost in this aspect. but i hope the text looks better.
