A lot going on here but its not bad.

Text could do with some tweaking but I like the flow of the tag.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.. I am noticing a few things I could have done better.

text needs to work i usually hide my text or make it blend in alot more umm you have a good flow but the render isnt blended in at all keep working tho man you are on the right track :)

Thanks, I guess the next things I am going to be doing are some text tuts. :)

text is always that hardest part man so yeah work on the other stuff like blending and then the text later on just hide your text fade it so it cant be noticed that much :)

Haha, thanks again, you are a lot of help. :)

lol i have the feeling everyone talking about your text is not going to get us very far. so i'll start on something else. The effects around the render imo shouldnt go onto it, you ruin the depth. First thing i would do is go back to when you put those effects on and erase around the render or create a vector mask and paint black over it. Vector mask is better than erasing because you can just paint white back onto it and it will come back rather than having to undo every else if you dont like the result.

Next thing i would do is to Gaussian Blur the background and again erase over the render to increase the depth. The flow needs a bit of work as well as it just seems to be aiming straight out with big gaps. As Underoath said blending needs work. smudge the edges of the render then duplicate the render and with a lower opacity erase go around the render. This is just one of many ways of blending this kinda render but you get the idea.

Next I would say add more to the background around the sides mainly. Its quite bare everywhere apart from the middle which will also damage your flow. Hope thats been of some use to you.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm about to upload the edited version.

i see more detailed work in the effects but he still isnt blended at all and the text is pretty much the same blend him in more make another layer of him and smudge the edges of him and then put the unsmudged render over the smudged one and lower the opacity on the unsmudged one :) try that

Is this a good blend?

NOOOO read my post from before. In there is how u should blend this type of render and background. The render is now out of focus and more part of the background. The render looks better in the previos version but scrap the text dude wait a while before playing with text.

Now, you don't have to do this, but if it were mine, I'd make the canvas a bit smaller. That's just me. It allows you to see a central point rather than one big stock image in the middle. Like, I'd go up to the guy's waist.

The work on the BG is great, but there's still a lot going on. Blur some of those darting light effects so it can create a bit more depth. And yeah, text needs work. I'd place it a little higher and slightly closer to the stock. A stroke with 0% fill doesn't seem fitting for this sig. Try an overlay?
