It looks good, but light isn't the same as white. Maybe some contrast or something? I don't know whats missing.

yeah i played around abit and this is the final piece i came up with

much better than before.

use unsharp mask on the stock and move the text closer to the stock. i don't like the white border.

what do you mean by unsharp mask on the stock and move the text closer to the stock

the stock = the person. stock image. the text is text. unsharp mask is filter > sharpen > unsharp mask. settings are

amount = whatever looks best
radius = 1.0 pixels
threshold = 0 levels

i think i liked it without the lens flare. it's too obvious.

That is my final outcome, im fairly happy with the outcome.

:confused:

Looks good, you're already developing as an artist.

yeah thanks heaps, im trying to perfect some techniques, i've been on and off making sig's so im tryin to remember. lol:D

I still think you could work on the text.
It....stand out too much, and doesnt suit your sig.
How about putting it as a dark grey with dark green first letters on the right? Or maybe a very dark green and then a lighter green as the main letter you are pointing out.

You have changed a lot since your first sig. Chapeau to you.
I still think the render needs a tad of blending into the background. Just a bit; gives it more effect.
