i prefer the first, i like the basic background but i think you've gone a little over the top with the effects. No real focal point, overall its pretty good though.

i like the first one more. it's just that i like the effects. don't like the text.
and the render looks low quality.

other than that good job ^^

i like the second one better but just use smaller soft brushes

Second is better IMO.
This is a solid sig great job. my only crit is the whole Clipping masks at the bottom of focal, with splatters is getting a bit old. however you approache dit in a very creative way i like it.

still a greta job though. I like the way you approached it.
