    I do not really like that one, your current looks so much better.

    Lets see, I like the effect at the end of the gun, it is pretty nice, you could improve it a little bit with some white
    dots or some C4D renders set on screen or something.
    Remove that ugly line around the whole signature and the text, they just do not fit to the signature.
    Some parts of the render are even oversharpened, like the beginning of the gun, some parts at the left shoulder.

    I kinda do not like as well, that it is just that blue. Then even black/white would look better.
    Try to add some more colors, maybe like using gradients on soft light.

    The render itself is placed good in the signature.

    Lets go on to the background, I still have the background/foreground feeling, so there is no real depth, you should improve that, maybe with adding a stock in the background.

    Improve your lighting as well a bit, make one side more dark, one more light, as if there was a natural light source, which you can simply add by using a white 200px soft brush and maybe turn down the opacity a little bit.

    The background itselfs looks a bit messy, maybe for the next time, use some smudging or so, do not make it too sharp, since you get away from the focal then. :)


    Good luck! and keep up the work.

    its a pretty cool background you just need some depth so next time you just resize the render to a smaller size and maybe add some lighting and blending in it. deffinately work on the text a lil bit more.

    keep it up! :)

    Well, you can either take a stock and put it in the background and blur it a little bit,
    a pretty good site is
    Code:

    Or you can just blur the background a little bit haha, this is the kinda famous method.
