    I actually love it. Awesome flow, awesome lighting, good focal. And total uniformity in terms of coloring isn't always the way to go. I think the contrast you have current is great, as well as your smudging. Perhaps burn the left side a bit and darken it a bit?

    I love it, but I have a few recommendations on how to make it a little sexier than it's already now.

    1. Remove some of the excessive smudging on the top right corner
    2. Create some depth by adding levels of colors in the smudging
    3. Blend the top right of the head, and the bottom left (shoulders) better with the smudging in the background.
    4. Add some of those splatters/circles to the right of him, also.

    That's all, looks like some amazing smudging. If you don't mind, can you share the smudge settings you used on this signature with us?
