.

The first one is over contrasted and oversharpened and the render just kinda gets lost in all that blackness.
The second one I don't like because it looks like you topaz'd too much and lost a lot of your texture.
The third one is the best I think, I like the text, and it retains that grungy look unlike the second one. The background could probably be blurred a taaaad more...But other than that, the lighting looks great, and I really like it overall. ^^

Keep it up :]

I agree with Hoshiko on the first.
However I disagree on the other two. Just comes down to Personal preference i guess.
Imo the second is the best. Even though it does look a little over topaz'd I think the last is too sharp and overpowering to be better. If you brought down the Topaz it would easily be the best of the three.

for me the 2nd one is the best

i like v2 better

2nd the best, great depth and loving the transition of textures .

Yes! I love it!
Nice job mio, keep it up :D

Everyone of them is over worked with Topaz Adjust, but the smooth setting looks best. I'd suggest you apply some good old adjustments manually instead ;)

yes ive also noticed that u used topaz adjust on ur 3 tags^^ i prefer smoother tags..why not try to use topaz denoise^^
