I have absolutely no idea what either of those are taken from, but i think that the first one looks pretty cool.
The signature looks good in my opinion, the only think I can suggest is to remove the text or reposition it to a different spot. He is asking for opinions on the first signature not the second signature, which is below the line and is his actual signature.
Looks pretty good. Bit to bright for me, but that might just be me. Also, those two circles by the clone's mask are distracting.
In the sig it hard to tell what is going on, looks like a guy holding a gun. But the two bright circles don't fit in and and are completely distracting. The blurring is kind of overdone too.
I don't like this one very much. Everything is too blurry, and the light is overwhelming. I know you said to ignore the text, but still, the text needs to be repositioned, and the font needs to be changed. Not your best work... try darkening the sides, removing those weird lights on the focal, and sharpening the image.
V1: V2: The circles are actually the rifle's scope, so... Hmm. I like V1 better. I think I may trash this sig.
Well, V2 is definitely an improvement in my opinion. I do think, seeing the darkened sides now, that the white is better. Try setting V1 on top of V2, with the blend mode set to "Overlay." That could look really good.
