Go with v2 for the border. It compliments it nicely. This one is good; the only thing I noticed is that the lighting doesn't match the render. The lighting in the render is coming from the top left, while the majority of your lighting is coming from the bottom. I can see that you tried to establish a light source above him, but you should move it a little to the left and tone down the opacity a little so that it brightens up the tag without looking like a floating globe.
that is what i noticed as well, the lighting on his right doesnt flow all too well, if you seriously just moved it over an inch and a half this would be complete. great job altogether, love the background, great job, go with v2!
