    Nice. Ok, the background here is well chosen and if you created the whole thing then you did really well. It is subtle but evocative. I like the subtle color shift from one side to the other which helps put the character forward off the background. I like the change in light and opacity on the background leg but for some reason it looks a tad too thin to me. The figure is otherwise well cut out and the movement across the image by the figure is well done. The eye is drawn across by the leg, up by the ball and then back over by they darker lines of the background on the right side. This keeps the eye moving in a circle and puts the majority of the focus on the ball. The brightness of the ball adds to that. The ball is a bit too light though in my opinion. Perhaps you could try taking down the lightness just a touch and upping the contrast or saturation. The ball should still stay light but I think it would be so much more powerful if the color wasn't entirely drained from it. The rest of the image is in shadow and it is sucha a great play of light and dark that putting the ball in as a bit more saturated will help that idea of the ball being important. Also, there is a light blue line just under the ball to the right which should either become an action blur of some sort or be removed. Right now, it is just sort of distracting and doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

    The ball looks much better but it seems like you changed the background a tad. It looks darker in the bottom one. I think I like the top background with the bottom figure and ball. Make sense? I just liked the contast in lighting from the top background more.

    Brighten up the left edges of the stock. To make that light source make sense. (dodge tool)

    lighten or darken one of the sides just to frame the pic better, but over all i have no real complaint.

    Looks good to me. I think you've got it spot on this time. I have no real complaint left. I think it's an excellent sig.

    Text is too small. Never underline text in a sig. Id take the text out, it looks out of place.
