Bioshock sig, would love a bit of feedback!

So my mate lent me Bioshock: Infinite the other day and I decided to base my next sig off of it.
I followed Derosions Genesis tutorial but much more vaguely to fit the idea I wanted.
I found lighting tricky as the render happened to to have a red glow on Booker's face already.
Does anyone else feel that the right side of the sig is empty?

I'd love some general feedback as I'm really trying to improve, absolutely anything would be apreciated! :)

I like how the red glow on his face matches the brush, and the right side dose look a little empy, but overal it's great :D

Don't place text in a corner. For text apply rule of thirds!! read them! I do like the "applied" image you did on it though!
Border: black or white or none! This just distracts.
The "wall" kills the depth and kills any flow. This is about a man standing in front of a wall, with some splatters and lightning . Nothing more, nothing less!
Doesn't want to make me look twice at it.
You placed the render out center. that's good! Makes it more "alive"
As DatNoob said: the right side looks a bit "dull"

I don't want to be harsh on you, just things you might consider working on.
keep 'm coming.

Thanks for the feedback, really means a lot to get some quality stuff. I'll have to research this rule of thirds, thanks for letting me know about it!
I see what you mean about the border, I'll experiment with thinner, simplistic ones in the future.
And I know what you mean! It initially wasn't a wall you know :p I just over edited in a way which destroyed the stocks texture, and I can see what you mean, I suppose I need to try looking to create more depth in the future.

Thanks for the feedback you two, it helps me find direction in where I need to improve!

Not bad man, i just think the render you chose was pretty LQ, and i'm not digging the faded border

I can see what you mean with the render actually, and yeah I've gathered that I should change how I use borders now, thanks!
