Ima give you a 6, flow and centre are key here. Too many contrasts are pulling too many directions for me. I think your text is the wrong colour (too similar to the render itself rather than contrasting) and is in the wrong place, it should come off the render in someway or work towards it, the font style is an extension of the render you see. And it's in it's own space which pulls the eye off the centre (render in this case).

The holland's hero text has no continuity/contrast with the rest of the sig, the font should be more simplier and a more basic font than the main text. It's there to underlie the player text thus making it more subtext so it has to work for it and close to it. Positioning in this case is a seperate comment.

I disagree with Rok on the logo, I think it's too prominent as it is and again occupies it's own space rather than as compliment to the centre, I'd knock down the opacity somewhat and change the colour of it, then tilt it off the centre. It doesn't matter if it's completly visible or not because we already know it's Holland and we're already aware of the logo.

The elements are there for a fantastic sig, you could even do the the 2 text and logo hollands actual flag colours and balance them off the centre ( the centre doesn't always have to be middle btw). Decide what your focal point is and work flow and light off that.

And maybe do a sharpen filter on the player to pull him out a little more....... lol Would like to see the results with a few changes!

well thats alot to take in... im just a begginer so yeh,,,, ill have a crack at changing it... i chose that text for the hollands hero but as it kinda portrays e love in statement :/

Yeh it's Defoe's body and I discovered the erase tool so gave it a bash and got most of it away, but I was trying to avoid cutting into his head haha! I get your point with the colour though as Gabby is lighter than Defoe.

That first sig is a massive sig, excellent work but where's your border???!!! (H) A border in this instance keeps the sig contained to the sig and no bleeding out. Other than that and maybe 1/2 inch removal at either end and you have a fine sig there. text works brilliantly where you've defined the colours to the sig and gave the render more creedance. Brilliant transcends gender 8-|!!

Onto the Holland sig, you're defo getting some flow into it. I'm finding it overly heavy though in colour and tone. I'd maybe go with a white colour on the name with black border and black with white border on the other. See you decided that they both won't fit on the same side because of that and ruined the new flow you were having. Once you do that use a stock font on the HOlland's hero ( just a default one like impact or times new roman) and decrease the size of the font and have it sitting slightly under the name. You won't believe how much that lifts the whole thing out.

As for the glow, I'd prefer a less striking one, it over saturates the render as it is. Hope I haven't rambled on again lol

Blending in heads is no simple task, and it's alot to explain if you don't know what a magnetic laso is lol. Anyway use auto-tone and auto contrast on the face (on the image tab). Will help a little but won't solve your problem completly!

extract and magnetic laso then 1px erase :P... it can be time consuming......

Making a border is easy..... create a new layer, fill it with oaintbucket. Any colour will do. in the layers panel click the layer and reduce the fill slider to 0. Goto layer style and create a stroke, make sure it's inside and 1px. Preferably use a dark colour from the render/sig, keeps continuity unless you require a contrast. And that's the border done.

Back to the Wesley sig, I'd lower the opacity on the name and reduce the stroke to 1px also you don't particularly need a stroke on the holland's hero because it's already light on the background, reduce the pixel to 1 and lower the opacity way down. don't be scared to have it touching the other text either. As you can see in the example below, any gap on either text and it softens the impact and detracts from the flow.
