Typo is pretty bad get rid of it,and the stock LQ. The stock is also washed out. The effects aren't working well together for me or maybe it's just the colors.

sharpensharpensharpen.

That is the one serious issue I see in that. And the stock seems pretty low quality too.
Clear up those reddish spots behind, or make them more apparent ie: through Contrasting.

And that little approximately 1 pixel on the right end of the tag is throwing me off something bad... Otherwise, it isn't too bad

@Kaz: Unfortunately, the tag was required to have my name in it. Also, the stock was given to me as well so there's no helping that.

@Bumblebee: I swear, if I shapened that even a tad bit more, it would've looked horrendous.

Ahh, it's one of those types is it? Hmm... Maybe: new layer> paste stock > Gaussian Blur > Opacity to about 20-30?

Dodge + Burn + Sharpen + Blur Tools
^ those can help you increase the quality of a stock.

That black splatter on the right above his head can be nixxed.
The typography could be switched to something crisper, longer, or something not as traditional.
Then the placement of it could have been moved toward the focal.

1st version > 2nd.
2nd looks dry and saturated.

But I think it was that long clipping mask at the bottom that gave that particular tag originality.
Play around with placement more with typography, effects to help enhance your focal..

I think you could have done better.
