Counter Strike :-
Most signatures are rated on these things:
• Composition (How we see it)
• Lighting (How well is the lighting done? Does it compliment the render? Does it look realistic?....)
• Colour (Do the colours go well together? Do they contrast too much? Too little?....)
• Quality (Is it over sharpened? Is the image too blurry? Is it low quality?)
• Text (Should it even be there? Is it well done? Well placed?....)
• Contrast (Too much? Not enough?)
• Hue/Saturation (Too much of either? Too little of either?)
I've probably forgotten a few things, but this will do for now I think.
Okay,
• <Composition> I think that the composition is okay but I also thing that it's ruined with the over-blended render and the rectangle thing at the left. The rectangle really just doesn't look right.
• <Lighting> I think that the lighting isn't very well done at all. The reason that I think this is that you don't even seem to have used a light source... You should try applying your image once you're almost done (New layer, Image > Apply Image || Or New layer, CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E) and messing around with Lighting Effects (Filter > Render > Lighting Effects), I'm sure you'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
• <Colour> The colours do indeed go well together but the only reason for that is that they don't really change very much. You've used way too much pink in this signature and haven't really focused on making a signature that actually suits the render itself. I think you should have used more vibrant colours and you shouldn't have tinted the entire thing with pink. You should have kept the render's colour and if you had to tint it you should have kept it on low opacity (Gradient map I presume) so that it didn't affect the render too much, like it is now.
• <Quality> Not so good. You've not really shown a focal point (Ah, that's what I missed in the list) because the backgroudn seems more sharp than the actual render itself, much sharper. The left rectangle thing also distracts you and it shouldn't be there (As stated before). it's also a bit blurry when it comes to the render. This can be helped with the sharpen tool, which is easily accessible if you just google it or know where it is already)
• <Text> Shouldn't be anywhere. Text on signatures is ugly :< Unless you're very very very good at it. Which unfortunately you aren't.
• <Contrast> Not enough. The colours blend too well with eachother (On account of them being pink/purple all over) which could probably be easily improved by a brightness&contrast layer with the contrast up just that little bit.
• <Hue/Saturation> Under saturated for the kind of signature it is. Hue, doesn't really matter. All that does it change the colour.
Overall, good, sorta. Just improve on the above things and you'll get better.

100x better mate Although I still think the saturation is much too high and you should blur the backgroud a VERY small amount. Also, the wireframe thing at the right hand side doesn't look that good. Good job on taking the advice!

I agree on this one, but the pictute looks pretty good did you actually make it or just small changes on a picture you found on google?
besides: 140kb its to big for a sig
pictures in sigs (except userbars) arent good, CEF threads need as long to load as a 30 minute porn movie in HD and 1280 * 1024..
good that there is faggot plus

good that there is faggot plus | Shutup. 140kb? I once had a sig that was 4mb. Why come here to complain about a SIGNATURE being in someone's SIGNATURE? Pointless dude.
@OP: The one in your sig atm is great btw.
