It shows up for me... The sig looks really nice but the text really bothers me. It's blocky and feels really out of place. Other than that you did a great job!

Shows up now. The text is, as mentioned, out of place, search dafont.com for some that will fit in better, make it blend in. Having a font that stands out like that means your eye is drawn to the text, and not the image where the focal point should be. My sig isn't the best example because i didn't spend long on the text, but as you can see, it doesn't draw your eye too much, and blends into the sig, rather than just being a solid, stand out color. You put a border on this time, which is good (i think it was you who never used them) However, i would suggest maybe making it smaller, or messing with the effects on it, something like overlay works quite well sometimes, and maybe have an inner glow (not too much though). More positively, it's a nice image, though i'm interested to know what you did? Is that just a render, or have you placed the people on the background? The right side seems a little saturated to me, maybe try the burn tool on it? It's not a bad sig though, you are improving I still don't like the dimensions though... I guess i am stuck in my ways lol.

I guess i am stuck in my ways lol. Thanks the image was originally a desktop background is my current one actualy all i did was shrink it down, i then dupe the background then hanged the blending mode on the duped one to linear burn and the opacticy to 60% this gives it that nice red yellow look, i then did the border which i quite like as a plain one normally i would use linear burn as it kindof inverts the colour where the border is, i then went on to a new layer beneath the border and did a black and white gradient and changed the blending mode to can't remember and set opactuiy to 50% i think, then i added the text. I use dafont.com a loot for my dads buisnes posters as they have different themes, i can't upload them as they would be a breach of security or ssomething, Thanks for all your comments guys i really appreciate them, i am trying out new things and experimenting like adding adjustment layers and stuff like that, i also use photoshp elements 5 which is rubbish compared to s4 which i hope to get for ma birthday, so thanks. If you have any links to tutorials and examples it would be great as i could learn more. I have just found this website which is great for elements http://simplegfx.net/forums/forums.php it is really good and has brushes and example sigs which you can take apart my username on there is JKD so you can add me.

mm you are starting to get the basics going but your depth and lighting still isnt there. Try using the burn and doge and shapen and blur it can make a real difference. Another think ou should do is experiment with different effects as right now i dont see what you really did with the stock ioh and the different filters as well. Your focal also needs work as well as your text. So just look up some tuts and you will improve in no time . Good Job KIU

I think the thing that pops out the most that I DON'T like is the border, the border is way to thick for me. Otherwise basically everything said above.
