Final Fantasy IV Edge sig

I took this stock photo and tried to do something "different" with it, I have mixed feelings about this piece but I'd like to hear some feedback

It's a very cool signature banner. I can agree with you about having mixed feelings about it. Perhaps it's because the colors are too similar to each other - our eyes may be used to having something stick out whether it's text or renders. Without a border it almost gives it an incomplete look. Perhaps that's what it is?

It is a cool banner. I think it needs more contrast though. Right now, your foreground and background are blending and one is indecipherable from the other. The figure on the right looks like just more text or a paint splash until you enlarge it. It's got some cool concepts, but you definitely need to work on making the figure and text pop.

I didn't want a border on this one, that's just my personal preference on how I think it should look. I feel that maybe I shouldn't have put so many filters on my stock, maybe that would compensate for the abundant blending and make him look less like a paint splash. Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind for my next piece.

I pushed some lighting to the side of the stock, I think it makes a big difference. I feel a lot better about this one, but what do you guys think?

I actually prefer the first one because there is less contrast.

I like the latest one more, has a better shine to it.
