    I quite like it
    at least you got the light source in the correct place
    it just needs more detail elsewhere in the signature
    and sharpening

    no. No filter effects lol. That's teh first thing a lot of people jump to. Don't do it. Experiment with other things.

    As far as lighting goes. It's pretty good, like rob said..You got it in the right spot. But a lot of people, including myself do it with the following:

    1. Create a new layer and fill it black.
    2. Set to Linear dodge (critical)
    3. Take paint brush on around 100px and light color (whatever color you want light source) and brush.

    It gives it kind of a glowing feeling to it. It's really not a whole lot more of a difference but if you don't really like your current lighting, that's another option.

    To make it more detailed? Sharpen it, and I usually add more clipping masks too.
